Job description

Asset Corporate Company Pty – Sydney CBD NSW

Asset Building | Full-time | Central Coast or Sydney Region

BUILD IT FROM THE GROUND UP

At Asset Building, we design and construct steel buildings: sheds, warehouses, workshops, industrial and commercial buildings, and school COLAs. We're looking for a hands-on Site Manager who can take a job from bare dirt to a standing, sheeted and fitted-out building, and enjoy doing it.

If you've run concrete pours, stood steel and kept a site moving, we want to hear from you. You don't need a perfect checklist of tickets. You do need practical experience and a commitment to doing the job right.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Running the site day to day. You'll be the Project Manager's eyes and ears on the ground and the person who keeps the job on track.

Building from start to finish. This covers site establishment, demolition and earthworks, set-out, footings and slabs, steel erection, sheeting and final fit-out.

Managing trades and subcontractors. You'll keep crews productive, coordinated and working safely.

Planning ahead. You'll book labour, cranes, EWPs, scissor lifts and other hire one to two weeks in advance, and off-hire equipment promptly.

Flagging changes early. You'll raise variations and delays, such as wet weather or hard rock, with the office on the same day so nothing slips through.

Keeping safety and quality paperwork in order. This includes SWMS, ITPs, inductions, toolbox talks, weekly inspections and daily site reports.

Keeping the client informed. You'll update customers proactively so they never have to chase for information.

Getting your hands dirty when the job calls for it.

Travel and staying overnight away from home could be a requirement from time to time.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Practical experience on construction sites, including concrete and footings work, and steel frame erection or similar structural work

Experience leading a crew or running a site, or readiness to step up into that role

A White Card

A Working with Children Check, or willingness to obtain one (some of our work is on school sites)

A driver's licence

Highly regarded (but not deal-breakers):

A carpentry, steel-fixing, boilermaking or other construction trade background

Experience with sheds, steel buildings or industrial and commercial builds

Dogging or rigging tickets

EWP, Working at Heights, crane or First Aid tickets

WHS or OHS risk management training

The kind of person who thrives here:

You stay calm under pressure and plan your way through tight deadlines.

You have a good eye for quality and pride in a tidy, finished site.

You're a clear communicator who can sort out issues with trades and clients before they become problems.

You're organised enough to keep paperwork "audit-ready" and comfortable with phone and app-based tools such as sign-on software and site reports.

You look after the budget as if it were your own.

Happy to travel & be flexible with schedules
