A new Head Contractor is taking Adelaide by storm. Over the past few years, they've grown significantly and secured contracts for projects that many other local builders haven't been able to win.
The reason is that they've got a different business model. The Senior Project Manager | Project Director, who is also running the project, holds ownership and equity in the company, giving them a stake in the outcome.
So running the project isn't just about completion; the stakes are much higher because they're responsible for everything else as well.
This would be the same opportunity you'd be offered in this business.
The Culture
The reason why the business's culture has become so strong over the years is that, as I said above, the Project Director owns the project; they haven't joined mid-way through; they've been there from early construction works, getting things meticulously right.
So they can't leave if things get tough; they've committed to excellence right until the end.
This is why the teams they've built over the years have been enjoying this change in mindset.
They aren't talking the talk; they are walking the walk. They also expect the same from the construction unit they build to join them.
As a result, top construction professionals throughout the state are staying the course easily and organically from one project to the next, as management is truly leading from the front.
The Projects
They are a turnkey builder capable of designing, constructing, and delivering hard-dollar builds for projects between $13M and $50M, most of the time.
They have a project starting in September where they'd need your expertise:
a commercial mixed-use project valued at approximately $50M.
Confidential at the moment; more can be discussed for the shortlisted candidates.
The Person
First, the company is seeking a Senior Project Manager with at least 10 years of experience who has completed at least 3 projects of $30M+ from inception to delivery, ideally from SA.
Your understanding of the local market and network of subcontractors here would be highly regarded and valued in your sector, as being the Project Director would put you in a place of complete ownership, where you'd literally be part of the business.
Second, someone who has come to enjoy mixed-use apartment projects over the years and is passionate enough about them to dedicate themselves to that sub-sector for a couple of years at the very least.
Third, you're looking for a long-term home where you can buy into the business, which is next to impossible in most other construction companies.
