  • Lead From the Front
  • Proven leadership experience in construction, fabrication, or similar
  • Family owned and operated company

At Beststeel, we build high-quality custom steel gates, fencing, and balustrades - and we're looking for a hands-on leader to take charge of our projects from workshop through to installation.

This isn't a sit-behind-a-desk role. We need someone who can plan, lead, and jump on the tools when needed - someone the team respects because you lead from the front.

The Role

You'll be the key link between management, workshop, site teams, and customers - making sure jobs run smoothly, safely, and on schedule.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Lead and coordinate projects from fabrication through to installation
  • Work alongside the team on-site when required (this is a hands-on role)
  • Liaise with customers and keep them informed throughout the job
  • Plan workflow between workshop and installation teams
  • Ensure jobs are completed on time and to a high standard
  • Organise materials, equipment hire, and site logistics
  • Track job progress and provide weekly updates
  • Lead and support installation teams on-site
  • Take ownership of health & safety on-site - ensuring safe practices, compliance, and a strong safety culture
What We're Looking For:
  • Proven leadership experience in construction, fabrication, or similar
  • Hands-on attitude - willing to jump in and get the job done
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage multiple jobs and keep things moving
  • Confident communicator with both team and clients
  • Reliable, punctual, and accountable
Why Join Beststeel?:
  • Established company with 25+ years in the industry
  • Varied, interesting projects (no repetitive work)
  • Strong team culture - everyone pulls their weight
  • Opportunity to take real ownership of your role
  • Long-term stability and growth

If you're the type who takes pride in leading a job properly from start to finish, we want to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and experience.
