  • ABOUT US

    Elaman is a people-focused Auckland property developer with a passion for creating empowering, aspirational spaces that leave a lasting positive impact on the community. We're vertically integrated across the full development cycle - from site acquisition and design through to construction and sales - building medium-density apartments and terraces across Auckland. With a strong pipeline of projects ahead, we're growing our on-site team and looking for a Site Foreman who shares our energy for building great things.

    THE ROLE

    We're looking for an experienced Site Foreman to take day-to-day ownership of one of our residential developments. You'll be the driving force on site - coordinating trades, keeping the programme moving, and making sure quality and safety are never compromised. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who genuinely loves construction, brings good energy to a site, and takes pride in seeing a build come together from the ground up.

    KEY ATTRIBUTES WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
    • Genuine passion and energy for construction - you love being on site and take pride in the finished product
    • Proven leadership and strong relational skills, able to get the best out of subcontractors and trade teams
    • A proactive "get it done" attitude, balanced with a sharp eye for quality and detail
    • Calm, clear communicator who takes ownership and keeps people accountable
    • Strong cultural fit with a people-focused, can-do team
    CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:
    • Oversee daily site operations and manage on-site personnel
    • Coordinate and supervise subcontractors and trade teams to keep the programme on track
    • Own health & safety compliance and site quality standards, including sign-off on restricted building work
    • Monitor progress against the build programme and report to the Project Manager
    • Conduct regular site inspections to ensure work matches plans and specifications
    • Proactively identify and solve problems as they arise on site
    • Support planning and sequencing of trades and deliveries
    • Maintain a positive, safety-first site culture that people want to work in
    ESSENTIAL:
    • Current Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) status
    • Proven experience as a Foreman or Site Supervisor on residential or medium-density construction projects
    • Solid knowledge of the NZ Building Code, H&S regulations, and restricted building work requirements
    • Full New Zealand driver's licence
    • Right to work in New Zealand
    BENEFICIAL (NOT ESSENTIAL):
    • Trade qualification in carpentry or a related discipline
    • Experience with concrete construction and multi-unit apartment or terrace builds
    • Site Safe Passport and/or First Aid certification
    • Familiarity with project scheduling or management software
