The Opportunity
This is more than a contract role — it's an opportunity to lead the delivery of landmark high‐rise residential projects for one of Queensland's most respected builder/developers. With a strong pipeline of work across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, this position offers long‐term security, career progression, and the chance to put your stamp on some of the region's most significant apartment developments.
Our business has built an excellent reputation for high‐quality developments and as an employer that values its people. We are looking for a Senior Site Manager who shares our commitment to quality, safety, and delivering projects that set the benchmark.
The Role
Reporting to the Project Manager, you will take full ownership of the day‐to‐day management of the construction site. Your responsibilities will include:
* Full life‐cycle management of the project — from early works and structure through to high‐end finishes and handover.
* Leading, mentoring, and managing all on‐site personnel, including Leading Hands and site labour.
* Driving the construction programme to ensure delivery on time and within budget, including leading weekly and monthly programme meetings.
* Interpreting and coordinating construction plans, drawings, and specifications across all trades.
* Managing tower crane operations, site logistics, and material deliveries.
* Directing and coordinating multiple subcontractors to ensure seamless workflow across trades.
* Championing a strong safety culture through rigorous implementation of WHS/OH&S management systems and site safety protocols.
* Proactively identifying and resolving issues to maintain programme momentum and quality standards.
About You
You are a seasoned site leader who thrives on the complexity and pace of high‐rise construction. You bring:
A trade background with a proven track record of progression into senior site management.
Extensive experience delivering high‐rise apartment projects (14+ storeys) in Australia.
A thorough understanding of structural works as well as high‐end quality finishes.
A current QLD and/or NSW Builder's Licence (highly preferred).
Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage large teams and multiple subcontractors.
Proficiency with construction management software, project scheduling tools, and standard office applications.
A proactive, solutions‐oriented mindset with a genuine passion for building quality residential projects.
Availability to commence promptly.
What We Offer
* A competitive salary package reflective of your experience and the seniority of the role.
* Long‐term career security with a genuine pathway from contract to permanent employment.
* The opportunity to work with a well‐regarded Queensland builder/developer known for quality residential apartment construction.
* A collaborative and professional working environment where your expertise is valued.
* A continuous pipeline of exciting high‐rise projects across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.
