The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Concrete Leading Hand to run day-to-day site operations and lead a crew of up to 8. You’ll be hands-on in the pour while coordinating people, plant, programme and safety so the job finishes on time, to spec, and without rework.

What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Lead, mentor and set the pace for a crew (up to 8) on commercial slabs, footings, external paving and decorative finishes

• Read drawings/specs, set out, confirm levels, check dimensions and tolerances.
• Oversee formwork, reinforcement placement and concrete supply.
• Hands-on pouring, screeding and finishing.
• Quality control: ITPs/hold points, defects prevention, as-built mark-ups and photos.
• Safety leadership: present to toolbox talks, SWMS/JSA compliance, site inductions, housekeeping.
• Materials & logistics: call-offs, deliveries, plant bookings, small procurement.
• Liaise professionally with Site Managers/Foremen, engineers and inspectors; raise RFIs/clarifications early.
• Keep basic site records: diary, timesheets/approvals, delivery dockets, test results.
• Manage variations and small measure-ups where required.
• Look after the crew: standards, skills training and managing a respectful/friendly site culture.
