Job description
Lead from the ground up. Manage premium‑spec builds. Grow your career.
- High-density apartment & mixed-use developments valued at $25M to $40M.
- Be part of a developer-builder handling projects from inception to completion.
- Projects located around Adelaide’s city fringe and surrounding areas.
Step into a pivotal Site Manager role with the construction arm of one of Adelaide’s most bespoke and dynamic developers. Specialising in high-spec apartments, commercial, and mixed-use projects valued from, $25M to $40M, this developer-builder delivers standout, design-led buildings across Adelaide.
With a strong pipeline of exciting new projects, a passionate and collaborative team, and leadership genuinely committed to your professional growth, this is your chance to take full ownership of flagship developments and accelerate your career within a forward-thinking developer-builder.
Take full ownership of challenging, design-focused projects and join a team where construction expertise meets development vision. This role is your platform to make a real impact and advance your career.
The Role
- You will be the Site Manager on projects: coordinating trades, scheduling deliveries, managing subcontractors, monitoring work‑in‑progress, ensuring WHS compliance and quality standards.
- You will take full ownership of your site: from mobilisation through to handover, you will drive on‑site execution in line with the project vision and the developer‑builder’s standard.
- You will be the on‑site leader: making decisions, managing risk, reporting to senior management, and ensuring that the delivery reflects the premium brand and client expectations.
- You will operate within a developer‑builder environment: meaning closer alignment between design, procurement and construction phases, and a sharper focus on finishes, lifecycle outcomes and long‑term asset value.
Why this stands out:
- Work with a company that doesn’t just build—they are the construction arm of a premium developer delivering high‑spec mixed‑use, commercial, and residential projects across Adelaide.
- Premium Projects: Be involved in builds where quality, detail and outcome matter: high finishes, modern delivery methods, and a reputation for excellence.
- Lead & Grow: You won’t just be overseeing trades, you will be leading a site that defines the business’s reputation. And there is scope for future senior roles as the company grows.
- Culture & Integrity: The business champions collaboration, leadership without ego and clear accountability.
- Balance & Professionalism: Acknowledging that great delivery starts with clarity, well‑organised sites, strong systems and a healthy work‑life balance.
- Proven experience as a Site Manager in commercial, residential or mixed‑use construction, ideally in a developer‑builder or high‑end building environment.
- Strong knowledge of WHS standards, site coordination of trades/subcontractors, scheduling, quality assurance and documentation.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills: you’ll liaise with management, clients, consultants and on‑site teams.
- A proactive and strategic approach: you see the bigger picture (developer outcome, asset value, client satisfaction) while also being hands‑on on site.
- Pride in delivering work to the highest standard, on time and within budget.
If you are keen to take this next step, managing premium builds in an ambitious developer‑builder business in Adelaide, we would love to hear from you.
