About the Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Senior Construction Manager to lead the on-site delivery of major renewable energy projects.

Combining renewable generation and advanced storage to ensure firm, dispatchable clean energy, supporting grid stability and Australia's energy transition.
Beyond the Laceby Solar Farm, our pipeline offers opportunities across Australia and New Zealand as AEC continues to grow.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you'll take ownership of on-site construction execution, leading our Supervisors and Foremen to deliver safe, high-quality outcomes on program and to budget. Working closely with the Senior Project Manager, you'll be the driving force behind day-to-day delivery on a high profile renewable energy build in Victoria.
What You'll Do
Lead on-site construction across civil, electrical and mechanical works, keeping delivery safe, on program and on budget.
Direct and support Supervisors and Foremen to drive daily execution.
Manage labour, plant, subcontractors and materials to optimise productivity and sequencing.
Monitor progress and quality, driving corrective action and continuous improvement.
Ensure works meet approved designs, specifications and construction methodologies.
Own site quality outcomes, from inspections through to defect close-out.
Coordinate construction interfaces across engineering, procurement, commissioning and QA.
Coach and develop your Supervisors, and report progress and cost-to-complete to the Project Manager.
What You'll Bring
Extensive experience managing construction projects in the renewables, infrastructure or civil sectors, ideally solar.
Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and site logistics.
Demonstrated leadership managing site-based supervisory teams.
Solid knowledge of WHS legislation and safe work practices.
Construction Induction (White) Card, First Aid Certification and an open driver's licence.
Valid Australian working rights and the ability to meet site medical and fitness requirements.
A formal qualification in Building, Construction or a related discipline.
