  • Salary up to $165K + super (depending on experience)
  • Work on award‑winning homes and large‑scale luxury renovations
  • Operate at a CFO‑style level across project finances
  • Stable pipeline: 4–8 architecturally driven projects per year
  • Modern office, supportive leadership, and genuine long‑term progression
  • Flexible hours: 7am–3pm, 8am–4pm, or 9am–5pm (office‑based)
What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be the financial anchor from concept to completion, partnering closely with the in‑house design team and construction leadership.
  • Preliminary budgeting during early and mid‑stage design
  • Estimating bespoke new builds and high‑end renovations
  • Real‑time cost tracking against budget
  • Budget forecasting and cash‑flow management
  • Cost‑plus contract control, reporting, and financial governance
  • Preparing detailed BOQs, take‑offs, and tender submissions
  • Managing supplier and subcontractor pricing
  • Identifying cost‑saving opportunities without compromising design intent
  • Maintaining full visibility over the financial health of every active project
What You’ll Bring
  • Minimum 10 years’ experience in residential construction in WA
  • Strong background in high‑end custom homes and/or luxury renovations
  • Proven experience with cost‑plus contract management
  • Ability to interpret complex architectural and engineering drawings
  • Deep understanding of WA construction codes and renovation methodologies
  • High attention to detail and accuracy
  • Proficiency in estimating software such as Buildsoft, Databuild, Truth Engine)
Why You’ll Love It Here

You’ll join a builder known for craftsmanship, architectural excellence, and a collaborative culture. With a steady flow of premium projects and a leadership team that values financial rigour, this is a rare opportunity to step into a role with real influence and long‑term growth.

This is a rare opportunity — don’t miss it.
