The Opportunity:
 
Join a well-established and highly regarded Tier 3 commercial builder with an impressive track record of delivering quality projects across a range of sectors.
With a strong reputation for delivering projects across Education, Government, Aged Care, Community and Commercial sectors, this business has built a solid pipeline of work and an excellent name in the industry.

  • A degree in Construction Management or a related discipline.
  • Approximately 2–3 years' experience in a Contracts Administrator role.
  • Experience working across projects from commencement through to completion.
  • Exposure to commercial construction, including Government, Community, Education or similar projects.
