SITE MANAGER - FITOUT

Founded in 1995, Formline set out to create a better way to build.

Over the past 30 years, we’ve grown into a national strategy, design, and build partner for growth-minded business owners and developers. More than a builder, we’re a trusted partner — ensuring our clients feel confident and cared for through every stage of the journey.

In this role, we’re looking for a Site Manager to take full ownership of site delivery — leading the site team, coordinating trades and subcontractors, maintaining safety and quality standards, and driving the project from site establishment to handover.

THE ROLE: SITE MANAGER (FITOUT)

Based on site in Tamworth NSW 2340, you will work closely with the Project Manager and wider delivery team to coordinate and supervise construction activities from the ground up through to completion.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Take full ownership of site delivery: manage all on-site construction activities from mobilisation through to practical completion and handover.

• Lead the site team: oversee site personnel, ensuring roles are clear and the site is well managed day to day.

• Drive construction program: maintain momentum on site, manage sequencing, identify risks early, and ensure key milestones are achieved.

• Coordinate trades and subcontractors: manage subcontractor performance, site attendance, workflow, and accountability.

• Maintain safety standards: enforce HSEQ & IMS requirements, site compliance, and strong site discipline across all activities.

• Manage quality outcomes: ensure workmanship meets required standards, inspections are completed properly, and defects are identified and resolved early.

• Communication and reporting: run site meetings and work closely with the Project Manager, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and internal team to keep everyone aligned.

• Read and apply drawings and scopes: interpret drawings, specifications, and scopes accurately, resolving issues before they impact time, cost, or quality.

• Oversee site logistics: coordinate deliveries, materials, access, amenities, traffic flow, storage, and overall site presentation.

• Support inspections and handover: manage defects, close-out, testing, commissioning, and practical completion to achieve a high-quality final result.

WHO YOU ARE

• Proven Site Manager experience: past experience as Site Manager with a head contractor on complex commercial Fitout projects.

• Strong site leader: able to coordinate trades, manage subcontractors, and maintain momentum on site.

• Clear communicator: leads well on site and works effectively with trades, suppliers, and the project team.

• Safety focused: strong understanding of WHS requirements and site compliance.

• Quality driven: strong eye for detail, workmanship, and finishes.

• Plan literate: confident reading drawings, scopes, and construction details.

• Practical and organised: proactive, solutions focused, and able to perform under pressure.

• Trade qualified preferred: carpentry background highly regarded. White Card essential.
