• Monitor construction progress, quality and commercial performance, identifying and resolving delivery risks and issues. 
• Partner with the Construction Manager and wider project team to achieve project objectives across safety, quality, cost and time. 

About You

You are practical, accountable and calm under pressure, with the ability to make sound decisions, solve problems in the field and lead teams through demanding project conditions. You bring strong technical capability, a commitment to safety and a collaborative approach to achieving outcomes. 

• Proven experience supervising transmission line construction projects, with a strong focus on tower assembly and erection works. 
• Demonstrated ability to lead field crews and subcontractors while managing safety, productivity, quality and delivery outcomes.
