About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead the delivery of an over 50s lifestyle community in the seaside township of Woolgoolga, NSW. This is a significant project for a valued repeat client and will be our third major development in this community.

You will take day-to-day control of site operations, ensuring the project is delivered safely, on time and to an exceptional standard of quality. We are looking for a Site Manager who takes genuine pride in workmanship, drives quality outcomes and sets high expectations for trades and subcontractors on site.

Client & Stakeholder Liaison

• Build and maintain strong relationships with the client and local community stakeholders.

• Attend and contribute to site meetings, providing clear updates on progress, risks and opportunities.
