Site Manager

Do you thrive on-site, leading trades and getting the job done safely, on time and to a high standard? Stokes Rousseau is looking for a Site Manager to run the day-to-day delivery of our commercial and heritage construction projects.

About Stokes Rousseau

Stokes Rousseau is a Melbourne-based construction company delivering commercial, heritage restoration and refurbishment projects across Victoria since 2006 — from landmark heritage buildings to complex commercial construction projects. Backed by ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications and Federal Safety Commissioner accreditation. We combine the professionalism of a bigger firm with the agility, accountability and close-knit culture of an SME that's genuinely growing.

About the Role

You'll be the person on the ground making it happen — coordinating trades, enforcing safety and quality standards and keeping the program on track. With a supportive Project Manager backing you and genuinely interesting heritage and commercial projects to work on, this is hands-on leadership with real variety.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running daily site operations safely, on program and to specification
• Leading and coordinating subcontractors, leading hands, carpenters and labourers
• Owning site safety — pre-starts, inductions, OHS, SWMS and inspections
• Driving quality assurance and defect-free handovers
• Mentoring and developing your site team

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 4 years' experience in commercial construction site management or a foreman role
• A trade or carpentry background is highly regarded
• Strong knowledge of OHS, QA and environmental requirements on site
• Comfortable with Procore or similar, plus Microsoft Office
• Diploma of Building and Construction (or equivalent) an advantage
• Current Construction Induction (White Card)
• Victorian driver's licence required, and ongoing access to an appropriate vehicle

Why Stokes Rousseau

• An attractive salary that reflects your experience, plus the perks below:
• Real growth, real opportunity: we're expanding, which means more sites, more responsibility and more room to grow your career than you'd find at a bigger, more corporate builder.
• A fresh new home: we're moving into a brand-new Head Office in Abbotsford — a modern space to match where we're headed as a business.
• An extra day, your way: on top of your standard leave, you'll get an additional day of paid leave every year to use however you like — no reason required.
• Get rewarded for great people: know someone perfect for the team? Our employee referral program pays you a cash bonus when your referral is hired.
• A culture you'll actually feel: a close-knit, senior-accountable team working on some of Melbourne's most interesting heritage and commercial projects — real hands-on variety you won't find running the same job site every day.
