POSITION INFO:
Are you a no-nonsense, hands-on Foreman who can drive progress, manage teams, and deliver on-site results under pressure?

Do you lead by example, demand high standards, and take pride in running a clean, productive, and disciplined site?

We’re looking for a career-focused, high-performing Foreman to join a team that builds complex building and civil engineering projects — from the ground up, to the final finish. You’ll be expected to lead from the front, take full accountability, and own your section of the work.

Key Responsibilities:

- Ensure that tasks are carried out safely, efficiently, and to the highest workmanship standards
- Allocate work to teams and supervise execution closely
- Drive daily production and hold team members accountable for output and quality
Team Management & Labour Control:
- Supervise Foremen, Artisans, and general workers across multiple trades (e.g. concrete, earthworks, finishing, and services)
- Maintain discipline on-site and ensure adherence to company standards and policies
- Train and guide junior staff to improve skill levels and productivity
Progress & Reporting:
- Track progress against program and report on daily/weekly activities
- Identify delays or issues early and escalate where necessary
- Keep accurate site records: Daily diaries, checklists, quality inspections, and resource usage
Quality & Safety Control:
- Enforce quality control procedures and ensure that work is completed right the first time
- Conduct toolbox talks and safety briefings, and ensure OHS compliance at all times
- Work closely with Engineers, Site Agents, and Safety Officers to maintain a compliant and productive work environment

Job Experience & Skills Required (Ideal Candidate Profile):

5+ years’ experience as a General Foreman or Trade Foreman on civil or building construction projects
Proven ability to manage large teams and coordinate multiple trades
Experience in concrete works, structural steel, finishing, earthworks, or services
Sound knowledge of construction methods, materials, plant, and health & safety regulations
Ability to read drawings, understand tolerances, and follow detailed instructions
Valid driver’s license and own reliable transport
Willingness to travel or relocate for project-based work
A hands-on leader who is always on the ground, making sure things get done
Disciplined, reliable, and fully accountable for your site section
Able to command respect without shouting – because your work speaks for itself
Sharp on details and deadly serious about safety and quality
Passionate about building things the right way, and building people while you're at it
Ready to grow into a Senior Foreman or Site Manager role through performance
