Introduction

This is a standout opportunity to take full ownership of a flagship, multi-storey social housing development with a highly respected Tier 2 builder known for delivering complex, design-driven projects across the government and institutional sectors.

You'll be stepping into a well-resourced job with strong systems, a very capable delivery team and a business that genuinely backs its Site Managers. This isn't a role where you're fighting upstream, you'll have the structure, support, and autonomy to run your site properly and deliver it to a high standard.

What are you going to do 

You'll lead the site from early works through to completion, driving programme, managing subcontractors, and setting the tone on safety, quality, and culture. This is a high-impact role on a project that matters, delivering critical housing outcomes for the community.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Full site ownership on a major social housing build
  • Driving programme and sequencing to keep the job ahead of schedule
  • Leading and mentoring Foremen and site teams
  • Managing subcontractors to ensure productivity and accountability
  • Maintaining high safety standards without compromising delivery
  • Working closely with a strong PM and CA team who understand construction

Essential skills and knowledge 

  • Proven Senior Site Manager experience on $30m+ builds
  • Strong background in multi-residential, social housing, or complex commercial projects
  • A leader who can drive trades, hold standards, and build a strong site culture
  • Solid understanding of programme, sequencing, and buildability
  • Someone who takes ownership and prides themselves on delivery

What we offer

  • Very competitive package
  • Lead a flagship social housing project with strong delivery support and clear structure
  • Secure, long-term pipeline of government-backed work providing genuine stability
  • Autonomy to run your site with trust from leadership and minimal micromanagement
  • Strong project team in place, allowing you to focus on delivery
