Civil Supervisor

Description

Join BildGroup as a Civil Supervisor

BildGroup is looking for an experienced Civil Supervisor to join our Infrastructure South Australia division.

Based in Wingfield, you’ll provide day-to-day site leadership across civil infrastructure projects throughout metropolitan Adelaide. Projects will cover traffic management, drainage, earthworks, pavements and civil services.

About BildGroup

BildGroup is a privately owned Australian construction and infrastructure business operating nationally across civil infrastructure, major projects, government and defence, urban services, sports, survey and landscape.

Privately held and growing with intent, we take a long-term view on the decisions that matter: investing in our people, pursuing the right work and building divisions that are genuinely built to last.

At BildGroup, we believe in helping you thrive in your career, your passions and your purpose. You’ll find a workplace that inspires you to bring your best, supports your journey and genuinely cares about your success.

About the role

You’ll work between the Leading Hand and the Project Engineer or Project Manager.

Our project teams operate with a lean structure, typically consisting of one or two Engineers, a Supervisor and a Leading Hand, with a Construction Manager and Superintendent available but not always based on site.

This means genuine autonomy, real accountability and an expectation that you’ll lead from the front.

What you’ll be doing

• Supervising all areas of the project, including traffic management, drainage, earthworks, pavements and civil services
• Coordinating and monitoring construction crews, plant and subcontractors across concurrent work fronts
• Reading and interpreting subcontract documents, specifications and drawings
• Communicating project requirements clearly to the crew
• Identifying drawing errors or omissions and escalating them to the Project Engineer or Project Manager
• Conducting a minimum of two workplace inspections each week
• Proactively managing hazards and immediately reporting and investigating incidents and near misses
• Maintaining accurate site records, including diaries, progress reports and contract notices
• Working on the tools when required—this is a BildGroup expectation across Infrastructure
• Using Microsoft Teams, Excel, Outlook and SharePoint for site reporting, communication and documentation

Skills and experience

• At least five years of civil construction experience, including experience as a Supervisor or senior Leading Hand
• Technical capability across at least two of the following areas: traffic management, drainage, earthworks, pavements or civil services
• Demonstrated willingness and ability to work on the tools when required
• Confidence using Microsoft Teams, Excel, Outlook and SharePoint as part of your daily workflow
• Strong HSEQ capability, including safety leadership, hazard and risk identification and incident investigation
• Ability to read and interpret subcontract documents, specifications and drawings
• Strong relationship-management skills across clients, subcontractors, consultants and community stakeholders
• Current White Card (Construction Induction)

Additional experience

Civil infrastructure experience is the core requirement. Candidates with a strong bulk-earthworks background are also encouraged to apply, provided they have the technical breadth to work across different project disciplines.

The following qualifications are beneficial but not essential:

• Plant operator tickets
• OHS qualification
• Current First Aid certificate
• Traffic Management accreditation

Submit your CV and a one-page cover letter outlining your experience, what you would bring to the position and why this opportunity is the right next step in your career.
