, and

in all that we do.

100 per cent employee-owned

We are building capability in formwork on all concrete - not general civil.

We are looking for someone who understands how concrete structures are built, not just how they are scheduled.

** Travel will be frequent.

You will lead or support delivery of:

• Water retaining structures
• Bridges
• LRT platforms
• Transit structures

With a focus on:

• Formwork systems
• Discuss formwork strategy on all self perform projects
• Formwork evaluation and selection
• Concrete sequencing and execution
• Train and mentor field foreman and superintendents
• Inform division leaders on overallformwork progress and risk profile

This is a hands-on technical leadership role
, not a coordination role.

This is not a traditional Superintendent role.

We are specifically looking for someone who:

• Has personally been involved in formwork and concrete assembly in the field
• Can walk a site and immediately identify sequencing risks
• Understands how structures actually go together under real constraints

• Proven experience delivering concrete structures (ideal experience would include bridges, transit, or similar)
• Deep exposure to formwork systems and concrete sequencing
• Background from:
  • Self-perform general contractor, or
  • Concrete/formwork subcontractor
• Ability to move between:
  • Field execution
  • Planning and problem-solving

• Your experience is primarily utilities, paving, or linear works
• You have managed projects without being close to field execution
• Your focus has been strictly planning/scheduling vs. build methodology
