Sutherland Shire, Australia Caton Constructions Pty Ltd Full time $90,000 - $110,000 per year

Leading Hand / Foreman – Sutherland Shire | $80–100k + Super | Build Your Path to Site Manager

Are you a qualified carpenter ready to step up and lead?

If you've mastered the tools and want to take the next step into site leadership, this is your shot.

At Caton Constructions, we're building more than homes — we're building a high-performance team. We take pride in architectural projects that push standards higher every time. And now, we're looking for a Leading Hand / Foreman who's ready to step up, take ownership, and grow into a Site Manager.

About Caton Constructions

We're a growing, quality-driven residential builder in the Sutherland Shire delivering architectural new builds and duplexes that turn heads for all the right reasons. Our systems are tight, our culture is built on accountability, and our leadership team backs people who want to take the next step.

Here, you won't be boxed in. You'll be trusted to lead, make smart calls, and keep raising the bar.

The Role: Leading Hand / Foreman

This role is your launch pad to Site Manager. You'll run day-to-day site operations, manage subcontractors, and maintain the systems that keep projects on time and on spec. You'll work side by side with the Director — learning how to forecast, plan, and problem-solve at the next level.

Your focus:

  • Drive progress and performance across every trade on site
  • Read and interpret plans, manage schedules, and forecast key milestones
  • Lead subcontractors with confidence — no chaos, no corners cut
  • Keep quality and safety tight through BuildPass and structured reporting
  • Take ownership of the site's systems, workflow, and delivery standards

You'll learn how the business runs, not just how to run a site.

What You Bring

You've already proven you can handle a build end to end — now you're ready to lead with structure and accountability.

  • Strong background in residential construction and site leadership
  • Skilled in site set-out, plan interpretation, and safety management
  • Trade qualified with your own transport
  • Confident using MS Office and site management apps (BuildPass or similar)
  • Clear communicator with a keen eye for detail and consistency

You take pride in your work, keep standards high, and don't tolerate poor workmanship or program drift.

Australian citizenship or permanent residency is required for this position.

What's In It For You

  • $90–110k + super (based on experience)
  • Direct mentorship from the Director to prepare you for Site Manager
  • Supportive leadership that values initiative, not micromanagement
  • Exposure to high-end architectural projects
  • Strong systems and processes that help you perform at your best
  • A genuine career pathway — not just another site role

Is This You?

You're reliable, coachable, and competitive in the right way. You want to build great homes, lead great people, and carve out a career that reflects your standards. You're not here to just turn up — you're here to grow.
