Site Manager – Brisbane

Permanent / Full Time

Lead this major townhouse build from bulk earthworks to handover. Secure backing, local focus, and a high-performing site team.

  • Dirt to Delivery: Manage full civil works, structures, and final fit-out.
  • Local Impact: Huge multi-unit project for a major Brisbane developer.
  • Career Stability: Long-term pipeline with a powerhouse national group.
Are you a Site Manager who actually enjoys the pace of a large-scale residential build?

We are partnering with a well-established developer-builder (part of a major national group) to find a Site Manager for a significant townhouse project in Brisbane. This isn't just a "stick-built" residential job; we need someone who can take the reins from the initial civil works right through to the final handover.

The Role

You’ll be leading the day-to-day operations on-site for a large-scale townhouse development. This role requires a "dirt-to-delivery" mindset—you’ll be managing the full civil package and heavy structures before moving into the high-volume fit-out phase.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Managing the project lifecycle from initial civil works and site establishment through to completion.
  • Driving the program to ensure milestones are met without compromising on quality or safety.
  • Coordinating subcontractors across multiple trades to keep a large-scale site moving efficiently.
  • Upholding rigorous OH&S standards and ensuring all site documentation is airtight.
What You’ll Need

This client is looking for a specialist who understands the Brisbane landscape and the complexities of multi-unit builds.
  • Structures Background: You must have a solid foundation in structural works. We need someone who understands the technical side of the build, not just the finishes.
  • Civil Experience: Proven experience managing full civil works and infrastructure within a residential or commercial context.
  • Licensing: You must hold a current and valid QBCC Site Supervisor or Open Builder License.
  • Local Knowledge: You are currently based in Brisbane with a reliable network of local subbies and a deep understanding of local council requirements.
Why Apply? Our client has the financial backing of a massive group but operates with the agility and "human" culture of a boutique firm. They aren't looking for a cog in a machine; they want a leader who takes pride in the finished product and knows how to manage a site with authority and respect.

Interested in a confidential chat? If you have the structures and civil experience we’re looking for, please apply with your updated CV (concentrating on build types and project values) or reach out directly for more information.

Referral reward: $950
