Job Description

Construction Site Manager – Building Demolition

  • Small construction business with incredible growth potential
  • Work on projects from Defence to Mining infrastructure and major concrete works
  • Current project: Department of Defence | Ipswich region
  • Strong program experience required
  • This is a permanent role with tons of career advancement opportunities as the company grows.

G’day, future demolition dynamos! Imagine this: you’re leading a high-stakes project, boots on the ground, directing the controlled chaos of demolishing multiple defence buildings. The roar of machinery, the dust in the air, and the thrill of watching structures come down on cue—it’s not just any job, it’s a huge career move with the Department of Defence!

We’re on the lookout for a Construction Site Manager who’s got the drive to lead subcontractors, juggle claims and variations like a pro, and keep the project timeline tight. This isn’t just a 12-month contract—we’re offering a permanent spot with a thriving civil contractor based in Brisbane. You’ll initially be stationed in the Ipswich region project for Defence, where all the action unfolds.

The Role:

  • Subbie Whisperer: Manage subcontractors, ensuring they work like a well-oiled machine.
  • Claims & Variations Guru: Handle the financials with the precision of an expert, ensuring claims and variations are seamless.
  • Programme Maestro: Keep the project on track, on time, and on budget from start to finish.
  • Scope Commander: Ensure all works are done to the highest standard, with no cutting corners.

What We’re Looking For: We need someone with high energy, grit, and heaps of motivation. If you thrive under pressure, love problem-solving, and can adapt on the fly, this could be your opportunity.

  • Organisation Skills: You’ll need to keep things running smoothly, with nothing slipping through the cracks.
  • Defence Sector Savvy: Prior defence experience is a plus, but a keen interest and a desire to learn will set you on the right path.
  • Adaptability: Be ready to re-plan and shift gears as the project evolves.

Why Apply? This isn’t just another job—it’s your chance to make a real impact and carve out a solid career in an industry that’s always growing. You’ll be part of a team that values innovation and precision, with plenty of room for you to develop your skills across a range of sectors like defence, mining, and major concrete works.
