Company

Whitebridge Contracts delivers reliable, safety-focused civil construction services across Western Australia, including earthworks, drainage, structural and road projects. We combine experienced drainage capability with well-maintained plant and integrated labour and plant packages for seamless delivery. Our focus is on safety, compliance and environmental responsibility in every project, ensuring quality and timely outcomes.

Role

Whitebridge Contracts is seeking experienced and capable drainage professionals to join our growing team for ongoing projects across the Perth metro and Pilbara regions. These full-time, on-site roles suit individuals who can confidently take ownership of drainage works from planning through to completion. You’ll oversee day-to-day operations, supervise crews, coordinate plant and materials, and ensure compliance with WHS and environmental requirements. Hands-on experience and the ability to lead by example will be highly valued.

Key Responsibilities

· Read and interpret plans, drainage drawings and specifications.

· Manage labour, plant and subcontract resources to meet project schedules.

· Monitor site activities to maintain WHS and environmental compliance.

· Liaise with contractors and clients to ensure specifications and timelines are achieved.

· Manage plant operators and site resources; ability to operate machinery (excavators, trenchers, tippers) is advantageous but not essential.

Skills & Qualifications

· Proven experience in drainage and civil construction, including supervision of small teams.

· Strong ability to interpret drawings and work independently to program.

· Sound understanding of WHS and environmental compliance in civil works.

· Excellent communication, leadership and problem-solving skills.

· Current White Card and relevant plant operation tickets/VOCs, where required.

· Highly regarded: confined space, working at heights and first aid.

· Must be reliable, proactive and take pride in quality workmanship.

What You’ll Get

· Attractive rates available (Pty Ltd or TFN options).

· Company ute and tools, or option to cross-hire your own if suitable.

· Long-term, steady work with strong management support.

· Respectful, safety-focused culture where your experience is valued.
