For the last 16 months I have worked on Nepean Health Hub as Site Foreman I started as the structure was completed I have looked after all aspects of the job including installing cladding, services and completing all fit-out suits which include Castlereagh Imaging, Vertis Fertility clinic and lab and Octa Medical Gp clinic. As the company is based in Queensland and due to covid I've done this on my own for the majority of my time on this site.

In this role I completed a number of projects ranging from 300k to 900k they all were overseen from demo to defects. They included a complete reclad of office building and relign of a fire system. 4 school toilet blocks, an office fitout and a complete re-roof of a school in a 2 week period.

I was responsible for managing & coordinating subcontractors in the Atrium section of the Hospital. Works included management of 7 floors of extensive birdcage scaffold. My daily activities included coordination of ceiling space services, access panel positioning, installation of balustrades, wall joinery, lift lobby terrazzo and comm’s stairs fit-out whilst managing high risk activities such as, working from heights and working around live plant (multiple MEWP’s).

Throughout Sydney I run multiple small sites ranging from $50k - $250k. My main responsibilities include organizing materials and men to ensure the clients are happy and programs are met in a safe and timely manner. However this was not the direction I wished for my career to take. I am currently enrolled in a Cert IV in Building and Construction and wish to gain more experience for Tier 1 and 2 builders and hopefully build a career with one of them. I will be in class Mondays and Tuesdays from 5pm-9pm for the next 12 months from August.

Eventually I worked directly under the Site General Foreman and was responsible for an area and coordinated the different trade subcontractors for the sub and superstructure. Weekly tasks included diary inputs, site meetings, ensuring ITP’s were completed by the subcontractors and ultimately ensuring the program was met whilst always maintaining company safety standards.
