Talent Coordinator — Top Tier Commercial Builder

Established, high-performing construction business seeks a Talent Coordinator to own the day-to-day recruitment funnel and take the volume off Senior Management's plate. Ideal for someone from a recruitment background who wants to move in-house into a coordination and screening role; not an active sourcing/headhunting one.

The Role:

- High-visibility, trusted role, genuine ownership of the recruitment funnel rather than inherited rigid process.

- Fast-paced variety across recruitment coordination, light HR, and project admin.

- Salary range $80K–$130K, dependent on experience.

- Sit as the single point of contact for all external recruiters and agencies: filter volume, manage relationships, keep candidates flowing without the noise reaching Senior Management directly.

- Own first-pass CV screening and initial vetting; escalate a shortlist rather than making final hiring calls.

- Light-touch HR/people support (leave requests, day-to-day queries), not a heavy compliance function; that stays with Senior Management.

- Based in office with site visits, regular face time with the GM and Directors.

- Broader admin variety: SOP manual prep, support, general project admin as capacity allows.

The Company:

- Established 20+ year business.

- Diverse portfolio of successful projects in the High Rise Apartment, Office, Hotel & Mixed Use sectors to $350mil+.

- Flat management structure, open door mentality, always easily contactable

- Stable, approachable Senior Management team with over 10 years in business.





- Reputation for high-quality builds, often delivered ahead of time.

- Strong cash flow, invoices always paid on time.

- Tight relationships with repeat Subcontractors, Consultants and Clients.

- Unionised business with excellent IR.

- Supportive team environment, from Directors, to Management to Project staff.

- Streamlined processes—no admin for the sake of admin.

- Family-orientated, no-fuss, builder's-builder type of culture.

- Regular reviews and rewards for valued employees.

- Long-term staff retention (many 10+ year team members).

- Known for being a excellent training ground for learning, mentoring and upskilling.

- Known for promoting staff from within, many success stories of Senior Management coming from humble beginnings.

Ideal Candidate:

- Recruitment background (agency or in-house) - construction/built environment exposure highly regarded.

- Comfortable managing high CV volumes and managing external recruiter relationships independently.

- Strong filter, not a head hunter, confident making judgment calls on who's worth putting in front of Senior Management, without needing to run full search/sourcing campaigns.

- Practical, no-fuss approach: able to run initial assessment without needing construction technical detail handed to them.

- Comfortable working closely with senior stakeholders in a fast-moving business.
