Site Manager - Luxury Bespoke Residential | Adelaide
Verra RecruitmentListed 18 Sep 2026
17th September, 2026
Our client designs and constructs high-end, architecturally bespoke homes across Adelaide's most prestigious pockets — multi-level residences featuring basements, undercrofts, wine cellars, and other one-off luxury elements. This is not project home work; every build is individually designed, with contract values ranging from $1.5M to $8M.
They're now seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead delivery on these premium projects.
About the Role
You'll take full ownership of complex, multi-level bespoke residential builds — typically 3–4 storeys, often incorporating basement and undercroft construction — managing the site from early civil/structural stages through to a flawless, luxury-standard handover.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage day-to-day site operations on architecturally designed, multi-level luxury homes
- Oversee complex structural sequencing including basements, undercrofts, and split-level designs
- Coordinate specialist trades and subcontractors delivering bespoke elements (wine cellars, lifts, custom joinery, feature stonework, etc.)
- Maintain an exceptional standard of quality control befitting a premium build — attention to detail is non-negotiable
- Manage build programs across extended, multi-stage construction timelines
- Ensure full compliance with WHS regulations, NCC requirements, and engineering specifications
- Liaise directly with architects, designers, engineers, and high-net-worth clients
- Manage variations, defects, and a considered, high-touch handover process
- Proven Site Manager experience on custom or architecturally designed homes (essential) minimium $1.5m buld value — project home background alone will not suit
- Demonstrated experience managing multi-level, structurally complex residential builds
- Comfortable coordinating specialist and boutique trades for bespoke finishes
- Strong technical knowledge of the NCC and relevant Australian Standards
- High standards of communication — confident liaising with architects and discerning private clients
- Current driver's licence and White Card
- Work on some of Adelaide's most impressive luxury residences
- Competitive salary + vehicle/allowance package, reflective of build complexity
- Stable pipeline of premium projects
- Genuine opportunity to build a career at the top end of residential construction
