The Leading Hand will support the laying crew foreman in directing an asphalt‑laying team, ensuring safety, quality, punctuality and respect on the job site. This role is a core part of a high‑performing team that coordinates work tasks, operates plant, supervises execution and delivers premium asphalt pavements throughout the South‑Western region of Victoria. Travel within a three‑hour radius of Warrnambool may require weekend, night or away‑from‑home shifts.
Key duties include maintaining a safe environment for employees, subcontractors and the public, encouraging crews to meet daily productivity targets safely, and proactively solving on‑site issues. The Leading Hand provides performance feedback, identifies latent conditions that could affect quality, and reports safety, quality or environmental concerns to the foreman. Operating equipment such as skid‑steers, rollers and paving machines, performing manual labour and assisting with resource allocation, additive spreading, machinery changes and site clean‑down are also required.
Candidates should have proven road construction or asphalt experience, a Construction Induction Card and an interest in working outdoors in all weather conditions. Demonstrated ability to lead a team, plan and coordinate work considering weather and crew availability, and forward‑thinking problem‑solving are essential. A medical check, including drug and alcohol screening, will be part of the pre‑employment process.
