Job Description

We are Hiring a Junior Construction Project Manager

Hi there! If you’ve worked on residential construction projects before — maybe as a site supervisor, junior engineer, or construction tech — and you like being the one who knows exactly what’s going on at site (what’s been done, what’s not, and what needs chasing), this role might be a great fit.

At Rivuuz, we help homeowners build smarter. We manage construction projects from design to finish, making sure people hire the right professionals, stay on budget, and avoid costly mistakes. We’re not just a platform — we’re hands-on with every project. And that’s where you come in.

Come and Help Us Keep Construction Sites Running Smoothly

We’re looking for someone who can support our project management team by tracking what’s happening on site, checking work against approved drawings and BOQs, and making sure the right people are doing the right work, the right way, at the right time.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing
You’ll be a vital pair of eyes and ears on the ground. This isn’t a desk job — you’ll be spending time at project sites, checking work, taking photos, asking the right questions, and flagging issues early before they become expensive mistakes.

You’ll also help with simple reports, tracking progress, confirming who’s doing what, and following up with clients and artisans when something needs a push.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

Regularly visiting active residential sites and tracking progress

Flagging delays, risks, or quality issues early

Communicating clearly with service professionals and vendors

Checking that site work matches BOQs and drawings (and calling it out when it doesn’t)

Helping the team prepare weekly workplans, materials checklists, or site instructions

Keeping our project dashboards updated with photos and notes

Tracking budget vs actual for materials and labour

Escalating issues that need senior attention quickly and clearly

The Kind of Person We’re Looking For
You’ve probably worked in construction before — maybe as a site technician, assistant supervisor, or even a vendor rep. You’re comfortable with the language of building sites, but you also have a strong sense of order and follow-through.

You know how to keep things moving. You’re not shy about calling someone to check on deliveries or asking a mason why they didn’t follow the drawing.

You’re also tech-friendly. You don’t need to be a software expert, but you should be willing to learn and use tools like Airtable or Google Drive to keep project updates clean and organised.

Here’s what we consider must-haves:

At least 2 years’ experience working on residential construction sites

Can read and interpret construction drawings

Strong organisational and follow-up skills

Good communicator who can work with artisans and clients

Able to multitask across multiple active projects

Confident using a smartphone or tablet for site notes and photos

What It’s Like Working at Rivuuz
We’re a small startup team with big goals and limited resources — which means we work fast, solve problems creatively, and keep improving our systems as we go. There’s structure, but not everything is perfectly polished, and that’s okay.

Some days, you’ll be visiting three sites. Other days, you’ll be chasing receipts or entering costs into Airtable. You’ll learn a lot, and your work will make a real difference to the way people experience building their homes.

We believe in practical, meaningful work. We care about our homeowners and the pros we work with. And we want people who take pride in doing things well and pay a high attention to detail.

In addition to being a detailed person, you must follow systems and processes. Just to prove that you are detail-oriented and can follow procedures, when you apply for this position, you should start your response to the why Rivuuz question in the application form with the sentence – I’ve read what its like to work at Rivuuz and here’s why I’m excited to apply. Yep, that’s how we filter out the people who blanket send their resume to anyone and everyone, from the people who are genuinely interested in this position.
