You’ll be running the site, not swinging a hammer.

Our client is an established Sydney builder specialising in bespoke, architecturally designed homes. For Nearly 10 years they have built a strong reputation for delivering stand out homes across Sydney and most of their work comes from repeat clients. They back their team with modern systems, work with leading architects and designers, and have a collaborative culture where good ideas and high standards are valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading day‑to‑day site delivery from start through to completion
• Coordinating and managing subcontractors and trades to keep the program on track
• Overseeing quality control and making sure work meets the plans, specifications and Australian Standards
• Managing site safety and WHS compliance
• Keeping the Project Manager and client up to date on progress, program and any issues
• Managing deliveries, materials and site logistics on a tight coastal residential site
• Running inspections and certifier sign‑offs, and handling defects through to handover
