The Company
My client is an emerging Melbourne architectural builder specialising in high-end extensions and renovations across some of Melbourne's most affluent suburbs. The business has built a strong reputation for delivering highly detailed, architecturally designed projects, with construction values generally ranging between $1M and $3M.

Due to continued growth, they are looking for an experienced Site Manager / Site Supervisor to join the team.

Why You Want to Work Here
  • Work exclusively on high-end architectural extensions and renovations
  • Manage quality projects typically ranging from $1M–$3M
  • Strong support from an experienced Project Manager
  • Purely site-based role — no unnecessary office/admin workload
  • Join a growing builder where your experience will genuinely be valued
  • Opportunity to manage multiple projects rather than being tied to one site

The Role:

This is a pure Site Management position, suited to someone who knows the architectural renovation and extension space inside out. You will take ownership of the day-to-day site management across a small number of projects (3-4 jobs), ensuring trades, programme, quality and site presentation are all maintained to a high standard.

The Project Manager will provide complete support from the office, allowing you to focus on what you do best — running the site and delivering the build.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Managing day-to-day site operations across multiple projects
  • Coordinating and managing subcontractors and trades
  • Programming trades and ensuring works remain on schedule
  • Managing site quality, presentation and workmanship
  • Reading and interpreting architectural drawings
  • Coordinating deliveries, materials and site logistics
  • Identifying and resolving site issues as they arise
  • Working closely with the PM to ensure smooth project delivery
  • Maintaining strong relationships with clients, architects and trades

About You:

We're looking for someone with genuine architectural renovation and extension experience. You will ideally have:
  • Proven experience as a Site Manager within high-end residential construction
  • Strong experience delivering architectural extensions & renovations
  • Experience managing projects in the $1M–$3M range
  • A strong understanding of sequencing, trades and the complexities of working within existing homes
  • Excellent subcontractor management skills and an established trade network
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work
  • The ability to confidently manage multiple sites
  • A trade background, ideally carpentry
  • Strong communication skills with clients, architects and subcontractors
This could also suit an experienced builder who has stepped away from running their own business and is looking to return to a hands-on site-focused role, without the administration and commercial pressures that come with running a building company.
