Buildsafe is an innovative leader in the building and construction space, providing height safety systems and scaffolding solutions across Australia. 

Our growth and success are driven by our people — the crews, leaders and teams who show up every day to get the job done safely and professionally. As we continue to scale, we’re investing in strengthening our technical capability to better support our operations and customers on site.

    • OR strong scaffolding background (Leading Hand, Supervisor, Estimator) with an interest in moving off the tools
    • Exposure to drafting/design systems such as iScaff, AutoCAD, Revit or similar 
    • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and plans 
    • Knowledge of scaffold systems (e.g. Kwikstage, Layher or similar) 
    • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills 
    • Ability to work in a fast-paced, team environment 

What’s in it for You 

  • Full-time, permanent opportunity based at Arundel Head Office
    • Opportunity to transition into an office-based technical role
    • Work alongside experienced operational and technical leaders 
    • Career growth within a national business 
    • Uniform allowance provided 
    • Access to Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for you and your family 
    • Fitness Passport (discounted gym memberships) 
    • Team culture initiatives including monthly lunches
