Construction Supervisor

Construction Supervisor | Colac Surf Coast & Surrounds

Build your career with a local leader.

G.J. Gardner Homes Colac Surf Coast is looking for a proactive, organised, and personable Construction Supervisor to join our growing team. Since opening our doors just over 12 months ago, we have established a strong presence in the local community and are seeing a steady, exciting increase in new home builds.

We are looking for a "hands-on" leader. Whether you are an experienced Supervisor from a boutique or custom building background, or a qualified Trade Professional (e.g., Carpenter) ready to step into a management role, we want to hear from you. We value the right attitude, excellent time management, and a "take-charge" approach.

This is a key role in a fresh, dynamic environment. You will be the boots on the ground, managing approximately 10 builds at once from frame through to handover. We service a large, diverse region; while our projects are widespread, we can look at adjusting project territories where possible to align with the successful candidate's location.

Perks You'll Love

• Competitive Salary Package: A rewarding base salary plus a company vehicle and the tools you need to succeed.
• Better Work-Life Balance: Standard hours are 7.00am – 4.00pm with no weekend work (unless by specific appointment).
• Career Growth: Join a young, successful franchise with the backing of Australia’s #1 rated builder and world-class national training.
• Supportive Local Culture: Be part of a "small but mighty" collaborative team where your contribution is truly valued.

What You'll Be Doing

• Trade Management: Lead and schedule subcontractors across sites to ensure seamless workflows and timely completions.
• Quality Control: Conduct regular site inspections to ensure every build meets G.J. Gardner’s 5-star quality and safety standards.
• Client Connection: Act as the professional face of the build - provide regular updates and manage expectations with a friendly, personable approach.
• Problem Solving: Use your technical knowledge to identify on-site hurdles early and implement smart solutions to keep projects moving.
• Safety First: Ensure all sites comply with OH&S requirements and maintain a professional, organized work environment.

What You'll Bring

• Location: You live in or near the Colac, Otway or Great Ocean Road Surf Coast Regions
• Background: A trade qualification (Carpentry preferred) or experience in a supervisory role. We are happy to consider junior candidates with strong trade skills and the right mindset.
• Highly Organised: Exceptional time management skills; you can manage multiple jobs at once without losing focus on the details.
• Personable & Professional: A genuine, customer-focused communication style. You can lead trades effectively while building great rapport with clients.
• Proactive Attitude: You don’t wait for things to happen; you see what needs to be done and you act on it.
• Licensing: A valid Australian Driver’s License is essential.

Why Join G.J. Gardner Homes Colac?

We offer the best of both worlds: the supportive, positive culture of a local family business, combined with the power, systems, and training of an internationally recognised brand. We are serious about investing in your career and providing a workplace you can be genuinely proud of.
