Leading Hand Opportunity

Step Up Into Site Leadership | Live Healthcare Project
Toowoomba | Start in 2-4 Weeks

Are you an experienced commercial labourer or trade assistant who knows how a live site runs - and ready to step up into a Leading Hand role?

We're delivering a short-term upgrade project within an operational aged care facility in Toowoomba and are looking for a confident, capable site operator ready to take the next step in their career.

This role would suit someone who:

  • Has strong building & construction experience

  • Has worked on active/live commercial sites

  • Naturally takes initiative and keeps jobs moving

  • Is ready for more responsibility and leadership exposure


The Project

Conversion of two existing sitting rooms into new bedrooms with en-suites inside a fully operational aged care facility.

This is a live environment - residents and staff remain on-site - so professionalism, organisation and communication are critical.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Coordinating trades and keeping works on program

  • Managing contractor sign-in / sign-out

  • Maintaining a clean, safe and compliant site

  • Acting as the on-site contact point

  • Reporting updates via iPad

  • Ensuring minimal disruption to residents and staff

This is a hands-on role - you won't just supervise, you'll be actively involved, ready to be on the tools when/if required.


What We're Looking For

  • Solid commercial construction experience

  • Experience on live sites (healthcare, aged care, education highly regarded)

  • Strong understanding of site safety

  • Ability to communicate confidently with trades and clients

  • Organised, reliable and professional

  • Comfortable using basic iPad reporting systems

Previous Leading Hand experience is highly regarded -
but we're equally open to someone ready to step up.


Why This Role?

  • Genuine opportunity to move into site leadership

  • Short-term, clearly scoped project

  • Exposure to client-facing site coordination

  • Great resume builder in healthcare construction

  • Supportive team environment

If you're ready to take the next step in your construction career and prove yourself in a leadership capacity, this could be the opportunity. APPLY NOW!!!
