About the Company

With over two decades of industry experience, this well-established business has built a reputation as a trusted contractor in civil construction, public realm upgrades, commercial landscaping, and urban infrastructure delivery. Backed by a team of 50+ staff and a strong network of subcontractors, they’re known for bringing technically complex projects to life — often in highly public, design-sensitive environments. Working closely with local councils, government agencies, architects, and developers, they consistently deliver high-quality outcomes that enhance the way communities live, move, and gather.

What's on offer

  • A solid and experienced admin and finance team has your back, so you're not drowning in paperwork or chasing invoices
  • Monthly BBQ toolbox meetings, shout-outs for great work, and a team that actually enjoys working together
  • The Directors are on the ground, approachable, and genuinely care about your growth and wellbeing
  • Longstanding relationships with councils and developers means steady work, not peaks and troughs
  • Well-maintained fleet and equipment, branded uniform, and tidy sites that reflect the company’s standards


About the role

You’ll oversee the full project lifecycle from pre-construction through to handover, ensuring high-quality outcomes are delivered safely, on time and on budget. Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading the planning and delivery of projects
  • Coordinating with site supervisors, subcontractors, and consultants
  • Managing project budgets, timelines, and progress reporting
  • Ensuring compliance with safety and environmental standards
  • Building strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and local authorities
  • Driving quality outcomes while mentoring junior team members

Skills and experience

  • A background in civil construction, commercial streetscape/landscape, or public realm works
  • Strong leadership and communication skills to manage teams and build trust with stakeholders
  • Sound knowledge of construction programs, contract administration, and project financials
  • A practical understanding of WHS, environmental, and quality assurance frameworks
  • Tertiary qualifications in Construction Management, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, or similar (preferred but not essential)
