Opportunity
Mid-tier Sydney builder, with over 35 years industry experience, requires an immediate contract foreman for what will be an initial 8-week opportunity in Wollongong.

This is a chance to oversee the progress of a project still in its early stages. With several wider Wollongong projects in the pipeline, this role could lead to either a long-term contract or a Temp to Perm opportunity with the well-known builder.
