What’s on offer?

We are looking for an experienced Asphalt Surfacing Foreperson to help us deliver various surfacing projects across the Mackay region. Located in Mackay, you will serve as a motivating leader who supports and empowers asphalt crews while emphasising safety, quality, cost, and schedule during the planning and execution of work.

Your responsibilities will include contributing to developing and implementing Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and leading pre-start meetings to address all site requirements. Additionally, you will assist with scheduling, forecasting, procurement, and managing materials, equipment, personnel, and subcontractors.

We are seeking:

• Proven technical knowledge and track record of delivering profitability on asphalt laying projects.
• The ability to positively influence and lead a team.
• A proven commitment to site safety.
• Strong organisational skills with the demonstrated ability to work within tight deadlines.
• Computer literacy with demonstrated ability to complete daily reports.
• Short-term stays and working away from home within the Mackay Whitsunday District will be required.

• Want to be rewarded for the good work you do? Apply now to learn more about the applicable hourly rate and allowances.

• Are you looking for a company that places people at the heart of everything? Our Living Safely culture ensures that we care for ourselves, each other and the communities that we work in.

• Are you keen to progress in your career? We invest in our people’s career development and provide pathways through apprenticeships, traineeships, or certificate(s) opportunities. If additional tickets and licenses are required, we can help with that, too.

• Have you never worked in our industry before? We open new doors for people with transferable skills and experiences, helping them thrive in the infrastructure construction world. Where applicable, we provide training and support to help you succeed in the role.
• Looking to enhance your wellbeing? We offer benefits, including corporate health and fitness programs, health insurance discounts, personal banking support, a range of retailer discounts, and access to our Employee Assistance Program (including your immediate family).

• Want to help us better the communities we live and work in? Our purpose of creating, connecting, and caring for communities is more than a saying to us – it’s a way of thinking, working, and living because we're locals too, and seek to give back in ways that strengthen and build resilient communities.
