Job Description

\n Overview\n

Lead the team. Shape the technology. Drive the future.

\n

Buildsafe has spent the past 25 years building one of Australia's most respected providers of height safety, scaffolding and construction technology solutions. Today we're a national business with operations across Australia, and we're investing heavily in the next chapter of our technology journey. From modernising our core business systems to expanding our BuildCam platform and embedding AI into the way we build software, we're creating technology that has a real impact on our people, our customers and the construction industry. We're looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager who wants to lead that journey. This isn't a role where success is measured by how much code you write. It's about building a high-performing engineering team, creating an environment where great engineers thrive, and delivering technology that moves the business forward.

About the Opportunity\n

You'll lead our software engineering function, working closely with our Executive team to shape technology strategy while mentoring and developing a talented group of developers. In your first three months, you'll spend time understanding our platforms, building relationships with the team, assessing delivery processes and establishing engineering priorities before driving longer-term improvements. You'll lead engineering across multiple business-critical platforms supporting a national operation, including our proprietary BuildCam platform, internal operational systems and AI initiatives that support thousands of active construction sites every day. You'll help modernise existing platforms, guide architectural decisions, introduce AI-assisted development practices and ensure our team delivers high-quality software that supports a rapidly growing national business. You understand that software exists to solve business problems. Working closely with business leaders, you'll translate ideas into practical technology solutions that improve operations, support our customers and create measurable business value. If you enjoy helping developers do their best work, improving delivery, removing roadblocks and creating an engineering culture focused on innovation and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing\n
    \n
  • Lead, coach and develop our software engineering team.
  • \n
  • Set clear priorities and manage delivery across multiple projects.
  • \n
  • Partner with business leaders to translate ideas into practical technology solutions.
  • \n
  • Champion modern software development practices and AI-assisted engineering.
  • \n
  • Guide technical decisions without becoming the team's primary coder.
  • \n
  • Support the continued evolution of our BuildCam platform and internal business systems.
  • \n
  • Drive continuous improvement across software delivery, quality and engineering capability.
  • \n
  • Help shape Buildsafe's long-term technology roadmap.
  • \n
About You\n

You're an experienced engineering leader who enjoys enabling others to succeed. You understand that software exists to solve business problems and that building a great engineering team delivers far greater value than personally writing the most code. You'll bring:

  • \n
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • \n
  • A practical, commercial approach to technology.

  • AI-assisted development tools
  • \n
\n

Why Buildsafe?\n

This is an opportunity to join a business where technology has a genuine seat at the table. As we celebrate our 25th year, we're investing in the future—not just maintaining what already exists.

\n

  • Lead a growing software engineering function.
