About the Role
Driven by strong performance and an expanding project pipeline, we are a growing commercial builder seeking an experienced and capable Site Manager to join our team on an initial 12-month contract, with a strong view to progress into a permanent position.
In this role, you will lead the delivery of a $15M multi-storey retail development, 2-storey with a basement, in Ringwood. Backed by a dynamic business with consistent project growth ahead, this position is ideal for a site leader who can adapt to the needs of the job. We are open to tailoring the role to the successful candidate's leadership style, whether you prefer a direct, hands-on management approach or focus primarily on-site oversight, coordination, and high-level strategy.

- Take full accountability for high-risk work activities, including strict oversight of 200-tonne crane operations, lift plans, safety, inductions, and compliance paperwork.
- Ensure all works comply strictly with OH&S regulations, building codes, and project specifications.
- Coordinate trade contractors, site deliveries, materials, and machinery to maintain site flow and project milestones.
- Drive the master construction program, proactively identifying potential site delays, risk factors, or scope clashes.
- Run daily pre-starts, site inductions, and toolbox talks to maintain a positive and safety-first site culture.
- Proven track record as a Site Manager within the Australian commercial construction market (Tier 3 background strongly preferred, solid Tier 2 experience also welcomed).
- Demonstrated experience successfully managing commercial builds with multi-storey structures and high-risk site operations.
- Direct experience managing and overseeing large crane operations (preferably 200-tonne mobile/tower cranes), including SWMS verification, lifting plans, and safety documentation.
- Strong leadership presence with a proven ability to command respect, motivate, and direct up to 40 people on-site daily.
- High-level understanding of local building codes, structural documentation, and OH&S legislation.
- Confident communicator with exceptional conflict-resolution, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
- Relevant trade background, Higher Education qualification in Construction Management, or equivalent industry experience.
- Current White Card, valid Australian Driver’s Licence, and First Aid certification.
