Adelaide, South Australia Rivergum Homes Group Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We are looking to expand our team with a driven professional. Our construction techniques are semi-commercial due to the nature of our sites, with the projects we are delivering up to the value of $30M. You will be fully equipped with tools required to perform to a high standard and largely be based at a project with a site office and facilities so you can effectively manage your day-to-day responsibilities.

We create homes that people are proud of

The business delivers a wide diversity of projects ranging from Rivergum owned, joint-venture and strategic build partner developments, and enjoys strong relationships with a range of Tier 1, Private, Government and Social Housing Development Partners. With over 31 years of experience, Rivergum is renowned for delivering considered, high-quality homes tailored to suit a variety of lifestyles. With over 100 employees, join us as we embark on an exciting journey and expand to a new head office located in Bowden in early 2026.
