Job description

Site Manager - Luxury Bespoke Residential | Adelaide

Lead delivery on Adelaide's finest bespoke homes — multi-level luxury builds from $1.5M-$8M. Wine cellars, basements, uncompromising quality.

17th September, 2026

Our client designs and constructs high-end, architecturally bespoke homes across Adelaide's most prestigious pockets — multi-level residences featuring basements, undercrofts, wine cellars, and other one-off luxury elements. This is not project home work; every build is individually designed, with contract values ranging from $1.5M to $8M. They're now seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead delivery on these premium projects.

About the Role

You’ll take full ownership of complex, multi-level bespoke residential builds — typically 3–4 storeys, often incorporating basement and undercroft construction — managing the site from early civil/structural stages through to a flawless, luxury-standard handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day site operations on architecturally designed, multi-level luxury homes
• Oversee complex structural sequencing including basements, undercrofts, and split-level designs
• Coordinate specialist trades and subcontractors delivering bespoke elements (wine cellars, lifts, custom joinery, feature stonework, etc.)
• Maintain an exceptional standard of quality control befitting a premium build — attention to detail is non-negotiable
• Manage build programs across extended, multi-stage construction timelines
• Ensure full compliance with WHS regulations, NCC requirements, and engineering specifications
• Liaise directly with architects, designers, engineers, and high-net-worth clients

About You

• Proven Site Manager experience on custom or architecturally designed homes (essential) minimium $1.5m buld value — project home background alone will not suit
• Demonstrated experience managing multi-level, structurally complex residential builds
• Comfortable coordinating specialist and boutique trades for bespoke finishes
• Strong technical knowledge of the NCC and relevant Australian Standards
• High standards of communication — confident liaising with architects and discerning private clients
• Current driver's licence and White Card

What's on Offer

• Work on some of Adelaide's most impressive luxury residences
• Competitive salary + vehicle/allowance package, reflective of build complexity
• Stable pipeline of premium projects
• Genuine opportunity to build a career at the top end of residential construction
