We're a privately owned, successful construction company partnering with leading developers to deliver medium-density townhouse communities across Melbourne—especially throughout the Eastern suburbs. With a commitment to outstanding customer service, quality workmanship and safety, we've experienced strong, sustained growth—and we're just getting started.

About the role

  • Responsible for program and budget performance: drive sequencing, resourcing and cost control to achieve milestones and quality outcomes.
  • Build and manage the supply chain: identify, engage and develop high‑performing subcontractors and suppliers in Melbourne's East.
  • Coach, mentor and uplift the site teams; build capability and succession.
  • Foster strong relationships with clients, consultants, authorities and partners
  • Champion a proactive safety culture through regular site visits, audits and corrective actions.
  • Oversee QA/defects process to ensure smooth PC, handover and customer satisfaction.
About you
  • Minimum Diploma of Building & Construction (Building) or similar.
  • 3+ years in a Construction Management / Building Supervisor leadership role (residential/townhouse desirable).
  • Demonstrated knowledge and application of Australian Standards, NCC and Victorian OHS legislation.
  • Strong residential construction knowledge, with a track record delivering to program and budget.
  • Commercial acumen with experience forecasting, managing and achieving budgets.
  • Collaborative leader and coach with excellent communication and stakeholder skills.
  • Full driver's licence.
  • Bonus points for local knowledge of Eastern‑suburbs councils and utilities (e.g., Whitehorse, Manningham, Monash, Maroondah, Knox, Boroondara).
Benefits
  • Excellent remuneration package commensurate with experience
  • Mentoring directly from the COO; genuine professional development support.
  • Secure, permanent role with a healthy pipeline of projects concentrated in Melbourne's East.
  • Fantastic, supportive team culture—professional, collaborative and down‑to‑earth.

We value people who are team‑oriented, professional and confident—with an easy‑going nature and sense of humour. If you enjoy building great projects and even better teams, you'll fit right in.

Due to the volume of applications expected, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. We thank you in advance for your time and interest in this role.
