Salary: $130000 per annum
Contact: Alex Mather
Our client is an established equipment and turnkey solution supplier in the FMCG industry. We are seeking an experienced Site Supervisor to manage on-site delivery of installation and relocation projects across Australia.

This is a hands-on, site-focused role responsible for supervising contractors, coordinating resources, managing safety and documentation, and acting as the primary point of contact for customers during installation works. There are no direct reports, although you will have the ability to select your preferred contractors - your impact comes from controlling the site, the contractors, and the outcome. Projects typically run 3–4 weeks, with multiple jobs live at once. Depending on location, travel will be required.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Supervise all on-site activities for packaging and palletising equipment installs
  • Act as the main site contact for the client
  • Coordinate contractors, cranes, transport, access equipment and tooling
  • Oversee mechanical installation, testing and commissioning
  • Manage site safety, inductions, permits and compliance
  • Track site costs and paperwork in line with project budgets
  • Be first on site and last to leave, ensuring works are completed correctly
 
Equipment types:
  • Conveyor systems
  • Palletisers systems
  • RoRo docks
  • Packers, labellers and associated packaging equipment
 
About you:
  • 10+ years industry experience with at least 2 years in a leadership or site coordination role
  • Strong background supervising industrial or manufacturing installation projects
  • Mechanical trade (preferred) or electrical trade with strong mechanical aptitude
  • Solid experience with conveyors, palletisers or similar automated equipment
  • Comfortable managing contractors and client relationships on site
  • Organised, disciplined with paperwork, and confident under pressure
 
This role suits someone who enjoys running projects from the ground, being amongst the action and delivering quality work for customers. This is not a desk based role and requires someone who is keen to be hands on.
