• Manage QA, ITPs, inspections, defects and rectification
• Drive progressive completion of apartments, common areas and resident amenities
• Protect completed works and maintain high standards of safety and housekeeping
• Coordinate progressive inspections and defect close-out
• Support testing, commissioning, Practical Completion and final handover
• Take ownership of the finishes programme to achieve programme, quality and presentation objectives

What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience as a Finishes Foreman / Finishes Supervisor
• Demonstrated high-rise residential apartment experience
• Premium or luxury residential project experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to take apartment towers through fit-out, defects, Practical Completion and handover
• Strong knowledge of architectural finishes and apartment fit-out sequencing
• Experience coordinating multiple trades across numerous floors simultaneously
• Strong understanding of façade and building services interfaces
• Excellent QA and defects management capability
• Strong subcontractor leadership, planning and problem-solving skills
• Ability to interpret architectural drawings, specifications and detailed design documentation
• Relevant trade background and/or construction qualifications highly regarded

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate a genuine eye for quality and detail. Experience delivering high-end joinery, stone, tiling, glazing and specialist finishes will be highly regarded.

Remuneration

A$190K–A$225K + super, subject to experience and capability. Candidates with extensive premium high-rise residential experience will be considered toward the upper end of the range.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to join a highly successful Australian construction business at the front end of a significant new Brisbane project and ultimately take ownership of the finishes through to handover.

With a strong pipeline of major developments across Brisbane, the opportunity also provides long-term project continuity and the potential to progress across future landmark projects.

All applications and enquiries will be treated in strict confidence.
