Site Manager | Major Commercial Development | Cairns
Rare opportunity to join one of Queensland's most respected commercial builders and take the lead on a landmark retail development in Cairns.
We're partnering with a highly regarded Tier 2 contractor with an exceptional reputation for delivering complex commercial projects throughout Queensland. With a substantial pipeline of secured work across Cairns and Far North Queensland, this is an opportunity to join a business that offers genuine long-term career security rather than project-to-project uncertainty.
Why Join?
You'll take full ownership of a major supermarket-anchored retail development valued in excess of $20 million, leading the project from site establishment through civil works and structural construction.
As the project progresses into the fitout phase, you'll complete a structured handover to the dedicated Fitout Site Manager before moving directly onto another major commercial project already secured within the region.
Your Responsibilities
We're looking for an accomplished Site Manager with a proven history of delivering large-scale commercial projects.
To be considered, you'll possess:
This isn't just another project—it's an opportunity to build a long-term career in one of Australia's most desirable locations. Enjoy year-round tropical weather, short commutes, affordable living compared to the capital cities, and unparalleled access to the Great Barrier Reef, rainforest, fishing, boating and outdoor adventure. With a strong pipeline of commercial construction continuing across the region, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle without compromising your career.
If you're looking to work for a builder that genuinely invests in its people, delivers quality projects and offers long-term stability in Far North Queensland, we'd love to hear from you.
