The Details:

Working within our newly created Plant Operations Supervisor position, you’ll take the lead in planning, coordinating and supervising internal plant resources across our construction crews. This pivotal role is all about maximising plant utilisation, driving cost effective outcomes, and ensuring our internal teams are equipped to deliver high quality civil infrastructure projects for Council.

You’ll be instrumental in supporting the delivery of civil construction works by optimising fleet and equipment allocation, fostering team capability, and maintaining high standards of safety and quality.

Working closely with the internal construction team, your key responsibilities will include:

• providing leadership and day to day support to plant operations staff, while identifying upskilling opportunities to strengthen team capability
• allocating internal plant, fleet and equipment daily, ensuring resources are matched to the scope and complexity of each project
• proactively driving utilisation of internal plant resources, balancing project delivery and maintenance needs
• conducting regular site inspections to support crews and uphold safety and quality standards
• building strong relationships across internal stakeholders and offering operational support to the broader construction team where required

We’re looking for someone with a strategic mindset, strong leadership qualities and a passion for operational excellence. You’ll thrive in dynamic environments, bring a proactive approach to problem solving and have a keen eye for resource optimisation.

This is more than a supervisory role - it’s a chance to shape how Council delivers their civil infrastructure, develop your leadership profile and contribute meaningfully to the community.
