Leading Hand

Leading Hand – Commercial Landscaping

Sydney Projects Only | Fast-Track to Foreman & Site Manager

$45/hr → $120k–$150k + Super + Bonus
Ready to step up?
Projected Resources is partnering with a top-tier commercial landscape contractor delivering major education, government, aged care, urban and precinct projects across Sydney. The business is growing fast and is looking for a driven Leading Hand who wants more responsibility, better systems, and a clear path forward.
This is a genuine career move — not a dead-end Leading Hand role.
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Clear progression → Leading Hand → Foreman → Site Manager
  • Foreman earnings → $120k–$150k + Super + Bonus
  • Well-run sites → Strong systems, organised programmes, proper PM support
  • Sydney-based projects only → No remote or long-distance travel
  • Supportive leadership → Backed, mentored and invested in
  • Quality work → Skilled teams, good subcontractors, no cowboy jobs
The Role You’ll work closely with the Foreman, helping run day-to-day site operations while staying hands-on. This role is about leading from the front and building the skills to take the next step.

You will:
  • Supervise trades and labour on site
  • Coordinate daily works, materials and deliveries
  • Maintain safety, quality and programme
  • Read and interpret plans and specifications
  • Support subcontractor coordination and sequencing
  • Drive high standards across hardscape and softscape works
  • Set the tone for site culture, safety and teamwork
About You
  • Currently a Leading Hand or a strong tradesperson ready to step up
  • Solid experience in commercial landscaping (civil/urban or Class 2 highly regarded)
  • Confident supervising small teams and daily site activity
  • Good communicator with a strong work ethic and leadership mindset
  • Tickets such as Excavator, Skid Steer, First Aid or Cert III Landscape Construction are a plus
Pay & Progression
  • Starting: $45 per hour + Super
  • Next step: Foreman role paying $120k–$150k + Super + Bonus
  • Support: Structured development and hands-on mentoring
Interested? If you’re looking for real progression, better support, and quality projects — this is a cracking opportunity.
