We are a boutique commercial construction company delivering fitout, refurbishment and construction projects across Sydney, with a strong focus on quality, practical problem-solving and building long-term relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the project, understands the commercial detail, and wants greater responsibility across the full project lifecycle.

The Role

Working closely with our Director, Project Manager and Site Manager, you will be responsible for the commercial administration of our projects from procurement through to final account.

Your responsibilities will include

- Preparing and issuing subcontractor and supplier packages
- Reviewing, levelling and negotiating subcontractor quotations

This is not a role where you will be buried inside a large commercial team working on one small part of a project.

You will have the opportunity to:

- Work directly with the company Director
- Take genuine ownership of projects
- Develop your commercial and project management capability
- Work across a variety of commercial construction projects
- Help improve the systems and processes of a growing construction business
- Progress into greater project and commercial responsibility as the business grows
