• Run daily pre-starts, toolbox talks, and site inductions
• Direct and sequence trades and subcontractors to keep the programme on track
• Manage materials end-to-end and oversee QA process
• Complete daily site diaries and report to the Site Manager
• Lead H&S — pre-starts, hazard board, incident reporting, 100% compliance
• Support crew and apprentices, building a positive, high-performing team culture

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a Leading Hand, Site Supervisor, or similar, 5+ years on tools
• Trade qualification and experience leading crews of 3–10 people
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and attention to detail
