Job description

Kai Rho Contracting is a growing civil construction company delivering quality outcomes across mining operations in Western Australia. We are a practical, hands‑on business built on trust, hard work and straightforward solutions, and we are looking for the right Site Supervisor to grow with us.

This is a great opportunity for a Site Supervisor who wants more than just a job. Someone motivated and ready to take ownership of their role, improve systems and help shape how we operate as the business grows. You will work closely with a small supportive team where flexibility, initiative and clear communication are essential.

As a team of approximately 12 employees, we offer a very different environment to large corporate mining contractors. This role suits someone who values autonomy, variety, and the ability to make the position their own within a growing business. At Kai Rho Contracting we value people who take pride in their work and want to be part of a small team making a meaningful impact. If you are a capable Site Supervisor who is practical, adaptable and ready to step into a role you can truly shape, we would like to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise day‑to‑day civil construction activities on site
• Lead a small crew in a practical, hands‑on environment
• Ensure compliance with company procedures, systems and ISO requirements
• Coordinate labour, plant, subcontractors and materials
• Maintain accurate site records, reporting and documentation
• Support audits, inspections and compliance requirements
• Use and adapt to systems such as Form Sumo and 6cloud
• Problem‑solve on site and adapt to changing conditions
• Maintain strong health, safety, environmental and quality standards
• Contribute to improving systems and processes as the business grows

About you – Skills and Experience

You will bring proven experience in civil construction or site-based roles where flexibility, initiative and a hands‑on approach are essential. You have a strong understanding of site procedures, systems and process‑driven environments, with the ability to work effectively within structured compliance frameworks.

You must have a minimum of 5-7 years of experience in civil construction or site-based roles.

You must have a minimum of 3 years of supervisory or leadership experience.

You hold both S26 Certification and DEMIRS and are confident working within regulated site environments. You are comfortable using digital systems such as Form Sumo and 6cloud or can quickly adapt to new platforms with ease. You have strong attention to detail and solid Microsoft Office skills.

You have the capability to not only follow systems but actively contribute to improving them within a growing business. Your communication skills are clear and practical, and you are confident engaging with site teams to support safe and efficient operations. Experience in auditing and compliance will be highly regarded, and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment will be considered an advantage but is not essential.

You must hold full Australian working rights and be a Western Australian resident, based in either Perth or Kalgoorlie. A current clean manual driver’s licence with HR is required, along with a clean National Police Clearance.

You must also be able to successfully pass a full pre‑employment medical, including site‑specific fitness and ongoing drug and alcohol screening requirements.

We are looking for someone reliable, adaptable and willing to take ownership of their role within a growing business environment.

Only Perth and Kalgoorlie residents will be considered.
