Leading Hand MTY1

For over 30 years, DASCO has been building more than homes; we've built a reputation that speaks for itself. As a privately owned Australian developer and builder, our portfolio spans more than 7,000 dwellings valued in excess of $2.4 billion. We're a 4.5-star iCIRT rated builder, with a Federal Safety accreditation and we are a certified Great Place to Work.  

We run a strong forward pipeline of major high-rise residential projects across Sydney, and we're after an experienced Leading Hand to help us deliver them. This isn't an entry point role, we're looking for someone who already knows how a high-rise site runs and can be trusted to lead from day one.

 

You'll be the person the crew looks to when things need sorting out. Working under the Site Supervisor, you'll run the day-to-day on your area; keeping trades moving, sequencing locked in, and quality and safety non-negotiable.

Day to day, you will:

• Lead and coordinate site crews and trades across your area of a high-rise project
• Drive sequencing, access and materials movement to keep multiple trades working without clashing
• Support the Site Supervisor to hit daily and weekly programme targets
• Run toolbox talks, enforce housekeeping, and shut down unsafe work before it becomes an incident
• Check quality as work progresses and flag issues before they become defects
• Coordinate crane and hoist bookings, deliveries and site set-up as required
• Deal directly with subcontractor foremen — sort problems on the spot, don't let them sit
• Set the standard for how the crew works, every day, without needing to be told

This role works under a Site Supervisor and is a genuine step toward a Supervisor role for the right person.

We need someone who can hit the ground running on a live high-rise site.

Essential:

• Strong preference for high-rise residential experience. For us this means you've worked on multi-storey towers, not just low-rise or townhouse projects, and you understand the pace, coordination and pressure that comes with vertical construction.
• Broad, rounded experience across multiple stages of a build — structure, façade and finishes/internals, not just one trade or one stage on repeat. The more stages you've genuinely worked across, the more useful you are to us.
• Trade qualification or clearly equivalent hands-on site experience
• Current White Card (General Construction Induction)
• Ability to read drawings and understand construction sequencing without hand-holding
• Low ego, team-first attitude. You lead by doing, not by talking yourself up. You work well with others and pitch in where needed to get the job done.
• A genuine, lived commitment to safety 

Highly regarded:

• First Aid certificate
• Tickets such as EWP, forklift, dogman/rigging, or working at heights
• Prior experience formally leading or supervising a crew
• Experience across the lifecycle of a project from start to finish
