Site Manager - Residential

Production Builders this one is for you

Start shaping the newest Living Gems lifestyle resort at Harris Crossing — and build a career (and life) right here in Townsville. At Living Gems, our commitment goes beyond construction — we become an integral part of the community, we don’t just hand over keys — Living Gems lives and works within the communities we build.

With 40+ years of experience in creating vibrant over-50s lifestyle communities, Living Gems is one of Australia’s most respected developers in this space. We’re now relaunching the brand with three exciting new resorts underway in Townsville, Rockhampton, and Moreton Bay — and we’re looking for a Residential Site Manager to lead our Harris Crossing project.

This is your chance to join a company with deep roots, a strong reputation, and a bright future — while enjoying the lifestyle benefits of being home every night.

About the Role

You will deliver 295 architecturally designed homes, each taking 12-16 weeks to build - so experience in high-volume, fast paced environments is essential. You will be responsible for building and managing your own on-site team of labourers, plant operators and trades with our support.

You’ll manage:

- A large-scale site with years of construction ahead of us
- Multiple homes at multiple stages in one location
- Scheduling and coordination via Onsite Companion
- Site set-up, framing, and through to handover — depending on your skills

Your focus: keep trades moving seamlessly from one house to the next by ensuring everyone is ready, scheduled, and productive.

What You’ll Need

- Trade qualification (carpentry preferred)
- QBCC Supervisor License (essential)
- Proven experience in production/volume residential construction
- Strong people leadership, planning, and communication skills
- WHS knowledge and commitment to safety
- Aptitude for project management and tech confidence (construction software)
- A valid driver’s license
- Proactive, hands‑on approach — someone who leads from the front

Why Join Living Gems?

For over four decades, Living Gems has been at the forefront of building lifestyle communities for active over‑50s. Known for our quality, innovation, and community focus, we’re entering an exciting new growth phase with multiple new resorts launching across Queensland.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

- Years of guaranteed work at Harris Crossing - with plans for more locations in the area
- *9-day fortnight - enjoy a long weekend every second week
- Competitive salary + vehicle or car allowance + annual bonus
- Opportunities for career growth and development
- Uniforms provided + discounts, novated leasing, and other perks

- Long-term local work opportunities
- Engaging and supporting local trades
- Creating apprenticeships and career pathways
- Building high-quality homes that add lasting value to Townsville
