Project Management

Full Time

$80,000 – $120,000 + Super

Upper North Shore, Sydney NSW

We are partnering with a well-established developer-builder delivering premium luxury retirement village projects across Sydney's Upper North Shore.

Due to continued growth, our client is seeking a Junior or Mid-Level Contract Administrator to join their commercial team and support the delivery of high-quality Class 2 residential developments.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable builder with a strong project pipeline, supportive leadership team and genuine long-term career progression. Unlike larger high-rise developments where responsibilities are often segmented, you'll have the opportunity to gain exposure to the entire project lifecycle—from development and civil works through to construction, completion and handover—providing invaluable experience for your long-term career.

The Opportunity

Working as part of an experienced commercial team, you will assist in the financial and contractual management of multiple construction projects from procurement through to final account. You'll work closely with experienced Project Managers, Directors, giving you hands-on exposure to every stage of project delivery while developing both your commercial and construction knowledge. The company has a predominantly Mandarin-speaking construction team, making this an ideal opportunity for bilingual construction professionals.
