Reporting into the Pre-Contracts Manager, working in close collaboration with the procurement team, your responsibilities will include:
Managing procurement activities from early works through to full trade letting
Preparing and issuing trade packages, scopes of work, and tender documentation

Assisting with budgeting, value engineering, and cost planning during pre-contracts
Working closely with Construction Managers, Project Managers, and Commercial teams
Supporting design coordination and buildability reviews prior to construction
Ensuring smooth handover from pre-contracts into delivery teams

A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline
Proven experience as a Project Engineer or Senior Project Engineer within commercial construction
Robust exposure to procurement and/or pre-contracts environments
Excellent understanding of subcontractor scopes, trade sequencing, and commercial risk
Strong communication skills and confidence dealing with consultants and subcontractors
A methodical, detail-oriented approach with strong commercial awareness

Why Apply?
Permanent, stable role within a growing commercial builder
Office-based position
Salary from $175-190k + Super, depending on experience
Involvement in projects from concept through to construction
Strong pipeline of work and long-term career progression
Collaborative, professional team setting
