Mechanical Supervisor

Job Overview
We're looking for a practical Mechanical Supervisor to lead on a busy residential project. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll balance time between the desk and the ground.

Key Responsibilities
• Lead, motivate and coordinate a team of mechanical operatives.
• Manage day-to-day site activities, assign work, and drive productivity.
• Handle material orders, daily reports, timesheets, toolbox talks, and permit control. Keep documentation up to date and accurate.
• Maintain a safe working environment. Ensure all H&S procedures are followed, and issues are addressed immediately.
• Provide honest updates on how the project is really going. If things are going off track, flag it early and work with the team to correct course.
• Willing and able to muck in when needed to help get things over the line.
• Split time effectively between site supervision and desk work. Stay present on the ground to push momentum but also keep ahead of planning and paperwork.

• Good understanding of mechanical and electrical systems and how they interact on-site.
• Strong organisational and leadership skills.
• Comfortable managing small teams and getting the best out of people.
• Confident in reading drawings, raising technical queries, and planning tasks.
• Sound grasp of Health & Safety regulations and site compliance.

Suitable candidate:
• A doer as much as a delegator, happy to pitch in when needed.
• Organised and reliable.
• Comfortable working independently but knows when to escalate.
• A good all-rounder, paperwork, people, and progress control
