We’re preparing to launch an exciting new site in late July to early August and are currently inviting expressions of interest for a passionate and experienced Supervisor or Manager to join the team from day one.

As a volume and production builder, we need someone who understands the fast-paced nature of high-volume residential construction. You’ll be responsible for running the site, managing the team of Labourers, Plant Operators and Contractors delivering homes on time and to budget, and ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.

You’ll be a decision-maker who can spot potential challenges early, provide effective solutions, and keep projects moving smoothly. We're looking for someone with a trade background, strong leadership skills, and a knack for building great relationships. If you enjoy using technology and take pride in seeing empty lots transform into homes that people love, we’d love to hear from you!

• QBCC Supervisor Licence is essential
• Extensive experience in volume/production residential construction

• Someone who leads by example
• Highly competent in IT and software, especially Onsite Companion

Working as a team the two roles split, one at the start of the build getting the framing done etc, the other role does all the finishes. The Manager and the Supervisor work closely together to ensure that everyone is where they are supposed to be at the right time and at the highest level of quality. You will be working on about 10 houses in different stages of construction at one time, the build should take 12-16 weeks, depending on whether it's a single storey or split-level home that you are building at that time. Your role is to utilise onsite companion and ensure that all the contractors are where they should be doing what they are supposed to, ensuring that you are ahead of them so that all supplies are delivered on time. Ensuring that you call them to site at the right time, when they can work full tilt, no downtime, as they should be literally moving from one house to the next if you are doing your job right!
