Site Manager

Job description

Site Manager | $50M Complex Health Project
  • Location: City Fringe / Brisbane Suburbs (Close to CBD)
  • Project Value: $50 Million
  • Sector: Health / Institutional
  • Position Type: Full-time, Permanent
About the Business
Our client is one of Australia’s oldest, most stable, and most respected top-tier national construction firms. With over five decades of successful delivery behind us, they have built a reputation for excellence, financial strength, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

What truly sets them apart is their culture. They operate with the capability and resources of a major national builder, but retain the family-first, collaborative heart of a boutique business. They actively champion diversity, invest heavily in their people's career progression, and foster a supportive, ego-free team environment. If you want the backing of an industry giant without feeling like a number, this is where you belong.

The Opportunity
We have recently been awarded a high-profile, $50M complex health facility located just outside the Brisbane CBD. We are seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead this project from the front line.

This is not a standard commercial build. It is a highly technical, fast-tracked institutional project requiring intricate services coordination, strict quality controls, and astute stakeholder management.

Key Responsibilities
  • Site Leadership: Manage all day-to-day site operations, ensuring the project is delivered safely, on time, and to the highest quality standards.
  • Subcontractor Management: Coordinate, schedule, and oversee a large pool of subcontractors and trades, maintaining high morale and accountability.
  • Program & Sequencing: Drive the construction program, proactively identifying bottlenecks and implementing solutions for complex staging.
  • Safety & Compliance: Champion an uncompromising safety culture on site, ensuring 100% compliance with WH&S regulations and strict health-sector protocols.
  • Client Relations: Liaise professionally with client representatives, hospital authorities, and consultants to manage operational impacts and tie-ins.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will be a seasoned construction professional who thrives under the pressure of complex builds.
  • Proven Track Record: Minimum 5+ years of experience as a Site Manager, ideally having successfully delivered health, laboratory, or highly serviced institutional projects valued over $40M.
  • Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of complex building services (HVAC, medical gases, or specialized structural elements).
  • Leadership Style: A firm but fair communicator who leads by example, builds strong relationships with subbies, and motivates a team.
  • Qualifications: A relevant tertiary qualification (Construction Management) or a trade background with extensive structures/finishes experience.
What’s on Offer
  • Top-Market Salary: A highly competitive remuneration package + vehicle/allowance tailored to your experience.
  • Project Pipeline: Genuine long-term job security with a massive pipeline of upcoming work across Queensland.
  • People-First Culture: Access to industry-leading wellness programs, regular team social events, and a highly supportive management structure.
  • Career Growth: Clear pathways into Project Management or Senior Site Management.
