QA Build is the powerhouse behind the construction of GemLife communities. With a commitment to excellence and efficiency, QA Build is shaping the future of luxury living and vibrant communities for the over-50's. Our expert teams deliver quality-built villas for our resort developments, achieving impressive build times of just 16 weeks.
GemLife Heritage Park is a $250m community designed to embrace nature with 310 homes at completion and Logan Grove based at Chambers Flat is a $260m community which will boast 282 homes. Our pipeline of work in the area is at least 3 - 4 years at each site. As Site Manager Residential, you will be responsible for running the site, managing the team of Plant Operators, Labourers and Contractors to deliver homes on time to the highest standard of quality and safety. There will be a separate commercial team working on the site managing the delivery of the clubhouse, wellness centre, summer pavilion, sporting facilities and entry statement. Each month, the commercial and residential teams come together to host a site BBQ, helping strengthen relationships across staff and contractors and support a well‑coordinated work environment

Our Business Development Manager will be on the ground to liaise and source trades for the site to ensure your time is spent on what matters - building incredible houses!
