This is a senior, owner‑side delivery role responsible for safely executing construction activities across multiple disciplines, with a strong electrical and BESS focus as the project nears completion. The role requires hands‑on field leadership, disciplined execution, and the ability to manage complex contractor and stakeholder interfaces in a live site environment.
The Role As Construction Manager, you will be accountable for overseeing construction execution to ensure works are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to required quality standards, while operating within defined constraints.
You will lead and coordinate an owner’s construction team comprising engineers, superintendents, and supervisors across multiple work packages. While the role covers civil, mechanical/structural, and electrical scopes, the project becomes predominantly electrical in nature as it approaches commissioning, requiring strong electrical supervision capability and experience managing energisation‑ready works.
