Building Work Supervisor

Building Work Supervisor – Medium & High Density Developments

Join Netbuilt and take ownership of delivering quality residential and commercial developments from construction commencement through to completion.

About Netbuilt

Netbuilt is a South Australian property developer and builder specialising in medium and high-density residential developments, together with light commercial developments.

Importantly, we do not build for external clients. Netbuilt exclusively develops and constructs our own privately owned developments.

As both the developer and builder, we are involved throughout the entire development process — from site acquisition and planning through to design, construction and completion.

Our supervisors are not managing dozens of unrelated homes for individual clients across Adelaide. Instead, they are able to focus their attention on one or two Netbuilt developments at any one time, taking genuine ownership of each project and working directly with the people making the development and construction decisions.

It means clearer communication, faster decision-making and a strong focus on achieving the best overall construction and development outcome.

As Netbuilt continues to grow its development pipeline, we are seeking an experienced and highly capable Building Work Supervisor to join our team.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on construction role for someone who genuinely enjoys building and takes pride in delivering a quality finished product.

As a Building Work Supervisor with Netbuilt, you will take responsibility for one or two multi-site medium-density residential developments at any one time, managing each development through the construction phase from commencement to practical completion and handover.

From time to time, the role may also involve the supervision of light commercial developments, providing variety across Netbuilt's development portfolio.

You will coordinate trades, suppliers, materials and construction activities while ensuring each development is delivered safely, efficiently, on programme, within budget and to the standard expected by Netbuilt.

You will work closely with Netbuilt management, consultants, subcontractors and suppliers and will be expected to take genuine ownership of your projects.

We are looking for someone who enjoys being on site, solving problems, working with trades, planning ahead and keeping projects moving.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supervising one or two multi-site medium-density residential developments at any one time from construction commencement through to practical completion and handover

• Taking day-to-day ownership of construction activities across each development

• Planning, programming and coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and site activities

• Managing construction sequencing to ensure trades work efficiently and projects continue to progress

• Monitoring construction programmes and proactively identifying potential delays before they impact completion dates

• Coordinating material orders and deliveries to ensure trades have what they need when they need it

• Reading and interpreting architectural plans, engineering drawings, specifications and construction documentation

• Ensuring construction is carried out in accordance with approved plans and documentation

• Ensuring compliance with the National Construction Code, Australian Standards and relevant South Australian building requirements

• Conducting regular site inspections and quality assurance checks throughout construction

• Identifying defective, incomplete or non-compliant workmanship and ensuring it is rectified promptly

• Maintaining high standards of workmanship, site presentation and cleanliness

• Ensuring sites operate safely and in accordance with WHS requirements

• Reviewing completed subcontractor works and claims where required

• Maintaining accurate construction records, site photographs, progress information and project documentation

• Coordinating with engineers, architects, building surveyors and other consultants as required

• Communicating clearly with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and the Netbuilt management team

• Identifying construction issues early and implementing practical solutions

• Managing competing priorities while maintaining momentum across the development

• Contributing ideas that improve construction timeframes, productivity, quality, systems and processes

• Helping Netbuilt continually improve the way we plan and deliver our developments

About You

We are looking for an experienced construction professional who understands that successful supervision is about much more than simply organising trades.

You take ownership of your projects, plan ahead and care about the quality of what is being built.

You will ideally have:

• Demonstrated experience as a Building Supervisor, Site Supervisor or Construction Supervisor within residential construction

• Experience supervising medium-density, townhouse or multi-dwelling developments will be highly regarded

• Strong knowledge of residential construction methods, sequencing, materials and building practices

• The ability to effectively manage multiple trades, suppliers and competing construction priorities

• Strong programming, planning and organisational skills

• The ability to read and interpret architectural plans, engineering drawings and specifications

• A sound understanding of the National Construction Code, Australian Standards and South Australian building requirements

• Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to quality workmanship

• A proactive approach to identifying and resolving construction issues

• Strong communication and relationship-management skills

• The confidence to hold subcontractors accountable while maintaining productive working relationships

• Good commercial awareness and an understanding of the relationship between programme, productivity, quality and cost

• Good computer skills and the ability to confidently use construction management systems and technology

• A current White Card

• A current South Australian Driver's Licence

• A current Building Work Supervisor Licence is preferred but not a requirement. Appropriate qualifications and/or eligibility to obtain one is a minimum requirement.

The Person We Are Looking For

Technical construction knowledge is important, but attitude, ownership and accountability are equally important to us.

We want someone who:

• Takes ownership rather than waiting for someone else to solve the problem

• Takes genuine pride in the developments they supervise

• Plans ahead rather than simply reacting to today's problems

• Notices the details and does not accept poor workmanship

• Understands how to keep trades productive and construction moving

• Builds strong relationships with good subcontractors and suppliers

• Communicates early when an issue arises

• Is comfortable making decisions and solving problems

• Understands the importance of programme, productivity, quality and cost

• Embraces technology and better construction systems

• Is open to new ideas and better ways of doing things

We are seeking someone who genuinely cares about how the development is built, how the site is run and the quality of the finished product.

Why Join Netbuilt?

Netbuilt offers something different from a traditional residential building company.

We are building our own developments.

There are no individual home-building clients to manage and no portfolio of unrelated homes spread across Adelaide.

Instead, you will be able to concentrate on one or two substantial developments, understand them properly and take genuine ownership of their delivery.

Because Netbuilt is both the developer and builder, our construction team works directly with management and decision-makers.

Good ideas can be discussed quickly, construction issues can be resolved efficiently and our supervisors have the opportunity to genuinely influence the way projects are delivered.

We offer:

• A stable, long-term position within a growing South Australian development business

• One or two developments to supervise at any one time, rather than a large portfolio of unrelated individual homes

• A diverse pipeline of medium-density, high-density and light commercial developments

• A supportive and down-to-earth working environment

• Genuine responsibility and autonomy

• Direct access to management and decision-makers

• The ability to focus on construction rather than managing individual homeowner clients

• The opportunity to contribute ideas and improve the way we build

• The opportunity to grow with Netbuilt as our development pipeline expands

• A business that values quality, accountability, efficiency, teamwork and continuous improvement

All applications will be treated confidentially.
