• Manage subcontractor performance and ensure works are delivered to programme
• Coordinate with consultants, suppliers and key project stakeholders
• Lead site meetings and communicate priorities across the project team
• Drive the project through construction, commissioning, completion and handover

About you

For this role, we're looking for someone with proven experience at this level and scale.

You will ideally bring:

• Demonstrated experience as a Site Manager delivering projects valued at $100m+
• A strong background in large-scale residential construction
• Proven experience managing projects through major stages of construction through to completion
• Strong knowledge of construction methodology, sequencing and programming
• Experience leading large site teams and managing multiple subcontractor packages
• Strong understanding of WHS, quality and compliance requirements
• Experience working within complex, high-density or CBD environments highly regarded
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• A practical, solutions-focused approach to project delivery
