What’s on offer?

We have an exciting opportunity for a General Foreperson to join our Victoria Road Upgrade Project team. The Victoria Road Upgrade project is a design & construct aimed at upgrading the Victoria Road to support the new development at Melrose Park North.

You’ll take the lead in coordinating day-to-day site activities, ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with program requirements.

• Leading supervision teams across multiple disciplines and work zones
• Monitoring program and budgets to meet critical milestones and delivery targets
• Coordinating internal crews and subcontractors to achieve planned outcomes

How you’ll connect to the role

You’re a hands-on leader who takes pride in delivering work safely and to a high standard. You bring proven experience working on major civil construction projects and understand what it takes to keep teams aligned, productive and focused on outcomes. You lead from the front, with the ability to influence and motivate crews while maintaining a strong commitment to safety, quality, cost and schedule.

Well organised and solutions-focused, you’re comfortable managing competing priorities and working to tight deadlines without losing sight of the bigger picture. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships across site teams and stakeholders, and know how to keep work moving in a practical and efficient way. You’re also confident using systems, completing reports and ensuring documentation is kept up to date and accurate.

This is a strong opportunity to take ownership of a key part of project delivery, where what you do each day will directly impact how the job runs.

You’ll be trusted to lead, supported by a capable team, and given the scope to make decisions, improve how work is done and build your reputation as a leader in the business.
