What’s on offer?

We’re looking for a Foreperson to join our Victoria Road Upgrade Project team, a design and construct project supporting the Melrose Park North development.

This is a key site-based role where you’ll lead crews, drive delivery and help ensure work is completed safely, on time and to the right standard.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading site crews to deliver works safely, efficiently and in line with program
• Coordinating plant, labour and subcontractors across multiple work fronts
• Monitoring progress and productivity to meet program and cost targets
• Driving safety outcomes through pre-starts, SWMS and daily site leadership
• Identifying risks, delays and issues, and implementing practical solutions
• Maintaining strong communication with Project Managers and stakeholders on performance, quality and timelines

How you’ll connect to the role

You’re a hands-on leader who knows how to get the best out of your team while keeping safety front of mind. You bring strong civil construction experience and are confident managing crews, plant and subcontractors in a fast-paced environment.

You have proven experience delivering civil projects safely, including hazard identification, risk assessment and daily problem solving. You’re a competent plant operator (with experience across equipment such as excavators, rollers and positraks), highly organised and able to meet tight deadlines. You’ve been involved in SWMS development, lead pre-starts with confidence, and understand how to plan, schedule and manage resources effectively to meet delivery targets.

You communicate clearly, provide constructive feedback, and are comfortable using systems to complete reports accurately and on time.

We’re a down-to-earth business that values people who take ownership, support their teammates and take pride in what they deliver.

This is an opportunity to step into a trusted leadership role on site, where your decisions and direction will directly shape how the job gets delivered.

You’ll be backed by a capable team, given the space to lead, and trusted to drive outcomes. If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership and continue to grow your career with Fulton Hogan, we’d like to hear from you.

Our people share the same set of values that keep us REAL. Respect, Energy and Effort, Attitude and Leadership encapsulate what we stand for at Fulton Hogan and encourage us to foster a diverse and inclusive culture where we listen to, care for, celebrate, and respect everyone.

We are committed to reconciliation and building and nurturing respectful relationships with First Nations peoples.

If our values resonate with you, please submit an application for the position. If you’re not sure that you meet 100% of the selection criteria, that’s okay, we would still like to hear from you and potentially discuss how your skills could be utilised at Fulton Hogan.
