General Manager - Civil

This is more than a General Manager role. It is an opportunity to build a business, create a legacy and, for the right person, participate in the equity of what you help create.

Backed by a highly successful Victorian civil Group with more than 60 years in the industry and over $500M in annual revenue, the foundations for South Australia are already being established.

The Group in Melbourne are led by a sophisticated and highly experienced leadership group who see South Australia as an important part of their long-term future.

Relationships are already being developed with local clients are ready to engage, and meaningful conversations are taking place across Adelaide at multiple levels.

The opportunity now is to appoint the right South Australian leader to turn that momentum into a significant, sustainable civil construction business.

Why this opportunity is different:

• Opportunity for equity and genuine long-term alignment for the right individual
• Build a legacy rather than simply inherit another leadership position
• Join a 60+ year established and highly profitable civil contractor
• Lead the growth of a business with existing client relationships and opportunities developing in Adelaide
• Work alongside a sophisticated, experienced leadership group committed to the South Australian market
• Build across the subdivision, urban infrastructure sector and civil industry
• Shape the local team, culture, client base and future direction of the business

The Role:

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer and working closely with the broader leadership group, you will take responsibility for establishing and growing the South Australian operation.

Your initial focus will be leveraging the conversations and relationships already underway while continuing to strengthen the organisation's presence across Adelaide's subdivision and urban infrastructure market.

You will:

• Develop and execute the South Australian growth strategy
• Build on existing client relationships and opportunities already developing locally
• Strengthen relationships with developers, consultants, councils and key industry stakeholders
• Identify and secure the right projects to establish a sustainable pipeline
• Work closely with estimating and pre-contract teams to strategically pursue opportunities
• Recruit and develop the South Australian team as the business grows
• Oversee commercial performance, operations and project delivery
• Establish a strong local culture aligned with the broader organisation's values
• Build a respected and profitable South Australian civil construction business

You will have genuine autonomy locally, but you won't be building without support.

Behind you will be an established Victorian operation, a strong balance sheet, experienced leadership, proven systems and more than six decades of civil construction capability.

Who We Are Looking For:

This opportunity is suited to someone who is currently based in Adelaide or a South Australian looking to return home who has maintained strong relationships and credibility within the local market.

You may currently be a General Manager, State Manager, Operations Manager, Construction Manager or senior civil leader ready for something bigger.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who can see beyond their next role.

Someone who wants to use the relationships, reputation and experience they have built throughout their career to create something significant of their own. For the right person, this offers something increasingly rare at this level, autonomy, backing, equity potential and the opportunity to create a genuine legacy in the South Australian civil market.
