Construction Site Manager

This is for an experienced Site Manager who wants to take ownership, lead from the front and be part of something bigger.

MJM Recruit is proud to partner with a long-established, family-owned commercial and industrial builder with more than 40 years of success across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Known for delivering quality projects and building lasting client relationships, the business is seeking an experienced Site Manager to join its growing Queensland division.

The Opportunity

Working closely with the Senior Project Manager and Director, you will take ownership of day-to-day site operations, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard.

You will be trusted to lead your site, make decisions and resolve issues without being micromanaged. Projects typically range from $5M–$30M across the commercial and industrial sectors.

What You Will Be Responsible For

• Managing all day-to-day site operations from establishment to handover
• Leading subcontractors, trades and site personnel
• Driving the construction programme and coordinating daily works
• Preparing short-term programmes and forward-planning labour, materials and deliveries
• Conducting site inductions, toolbox meetings and safety inspections
• Ensuring WHS, quality and environmental requirements are maintained
• Reviewing drawings, specifications and scopes of work
• Coordinating consultants, inspections and required approvals
• Monitoring workmanship, progress and subcontractor performance
• Identifying risks, resolving site issues and preventing delays
• Maintaining accurate site diaries, records and documentation
• Managing defects, completion works and project handover
• Liaising closely with Project Managers, clients and key stakeholders

What Sets You Apart

• Proven Site Manager experience within commercial or industrial construction
• A strong track record delivering projects valued between $5M and $30M
• Excellent subcontractor coordination and programme management skills
• Strong knowledge of construction methodology, safety and quality requirements
• The ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications
• A confident leadership style and the ability to make sound decisions
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
• High integrity, accountability and pride in the quality of your work
• Relevant trade or construction qualifications highly regarded
• Experience using Procore or BuildPass highly regarded
• Local Queensland market knowledge advantageous

Most importantly, you are looking for more than just your next project. You want stability, trust and the opportunity to grow with a business where your contribution will be recognised.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct access to an experienced and respected Director
• Strong, stable pipeline offering genuine job security
• Autonomy to take ownership of your site
• Supportive, family-owned business with more than 40 years of success
• Opportunity to influence how projects are delivered
• Long-term career growth within the Queensland division
• Competitive salary package aligned with experience
