  • Ensure all works are delivered safely and in line with specifications
  • Drive strong WHS compliance and lead by example on the tools and on site
  • Mentor tradespeople and apprentices to build a high-performing team
  • Liaise with project managers, engineers, and clients

  • NSW Supervisor ticket (G1, G8 or G9) or equivalent
  • Strong hands on experience across FRP, structural, mechanical and piping construction works
  • Previous supervisory experience in mining, construction or heavy industry

  • Full-time role
  • Competitive salary package
  • Opportunity to work across diverse and challenging projects
