Site Manager
Downer · Beenleigh
The opportunity
This is a Site Manager role with real ownership.
Based at Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant, you'll take the lead across multiple projects and work fronts, bringing together Supervisors, project teams, self-perform crews and subcontractors to deliver safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
You'll have visibility across the full project lifecycle. As well as leading construction delivery, you'll contribute your practical expertise during constructability reviews, estimating and project development, then support commissioning, handover and operational acceptance once the job is built.
Just as importantly, you'll build the team around you. We're looking for someone who can create accountability, develop strong Supervisors and build trusted relationships with Logan Water operations and project stakeholders.
If you like being close enough to the work to make things happen, but senior enough to influence how an entire site performs, this one's worth a conversation.
What you'll do
- Own the safe and efficient delivery of multiple projects across Loganholme WWTP
- Lead and develop Site Supervisors, project teams and self-perform delivery crews
- Coordinate priorities and schedules across a busy operational treatment plant
- Build strong working relationships with Logan Water operations, project teams, subcontractors and suppliers
- Keep a close eye on safety, quality, cost, schedule and site performance, stepping in early when something needs attention
- Bring practical construction thinking into constructability reviews, estimating, scheduling and upcoming project development
- Support commissioning, handover and operational acceptance of completed assets
What we offer
- Permanent opportunity within a growth industry that is continuously expanding and evolving
- Based at Loganholme Wastewater Treatment Plant
- The opportunity to influence projects from development through to commissioning and handover
- Suite of Downer benefits including health and wellness initiatives
- Be part of meaningful infrastructure work that directly supports the Logan community
What we're looking for
- Minimum 10 years' project delivery experience within construction
- Experience working with major water utility providers
- Extensive experience leading project teams, Supervisors, subcontractors and self-perform crews
- Confidence managing complex programs, schedules, budgets and competing site priorities
- Strong understanding of commercial management and contract administration
- A practical leader who can build trust, have the tough conversations and bring people together around a common outcome
- Certificate IV in Building & Construction, Frontline Management, Leadership & Management or equivalent is preferred
