This is a great opportunity for a motivated Construction Cadet to join a growing remedial builder in Brisbane. This is an excellent opportunity for a construction student or recent graduate looking to gain broad commercial exposure and develop into a Project Manager over the course of their career.
The Opportunity This role has been specifically designed to give you exposure to different areas of the business, allowing you to build a strong understanding of both the commercial and delivery sides of construction.
Year 1 – Estimating
- Work closely with the estimating team across live tenders and pricing.
- Assist with take-offs, scope reviews, subcontractor packages and tender submissions.
- Develop an understanding of project costs, procurement and how projects are won.
Project Delivery – Junior CA
- Transition into the project team and work closely with a Project Manager.
- Gain hands-on experience across contracts administration and project delivery.
- Assist with variations, progress claims, procurement, subcontractor management and project documentation.
- Develop an understanding of how a project is managed from award through to completion.
About You
- Construction Management, Building or Quantity Surveying degree/diploma, or currently studying.
- Ideally some previous construction experience through internships, cadetships or site work.
- Strong interest in developing a long-term career in construction.
- Commercially minded with solid attention to detail.
- Good communication skills and a willingness to learn.
- Ambitious and motivated to progress into a Project Management position.
Why Apply? This isn't a traditional cadet role where you'll be doing the same tasks for two years. You'll be given exposure across estimating, contracts administration and project delivery, providing a well-rounded foundation for a long-term career in construction.
For the right person, this is a genuine pathway towards becoming a Project Manager, with the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as your experience develops.
