We're looking for a Project Commercial Manager to lead the commercial and procurement function on a new overlay and event delivery programme with a state government client. Gold Coast based, the role joins an established motorsport and major events delivery team.

This is not a back-office role — you'll sit at the centre of delivery, shaping commercial strategy, driving procurement outcomes, and protecting project performance in rapid-paced, high-pressure environments.

You'll work closely with Project Directors, engineers and delivery teams to ensure projects are commercially sound, contractually robust and financially controlled from day one through to close-out.

About iEDM

iEDM is a specialist engineering, advisory and project delivery firm operating at the forefront of major events, sport and infrastructure. We partner with governments and leading organisations to deliver complex, high-profile projects that demand agility, precision and commercial discipline.

Alongside major event overlay delivery, iEDM leads the planning and delivery of permanent infrastructure programs that underpin and enable major events to come to life — from venue redevelopments to circuit modifications and precinct upgrades.

From Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix to LIV Golf, Supercars, and major infrastructure programs, our work sits where scale, risk and performance intersect.

Key Responsibilities

Establish and maintain multi-dimensional cost reporting for the programme — FMS development, cost report structure, live Actual + Forecast Cost position.

Prepare and present monthly commercial reporting to the client.

Sequence and deliver procurement packages against the delivery programme; provide commercial review of RFT packs before market issue.

Own the change control and variations register — working with Project Managers,



Project Engineers and Contract Administrator end-to-end.

Maintain the Value Management register and support VE cycles at key design milestones.

Provide direction and development support to a project-based Contract Administrator.

Establish the commercial setup in iEDM's FMS as a reusable template for future EPCM engagements.

What You'll Bring

Demonstrated commercial management on programmes of comparable complexity — multi-package, multi-contractor, live delivery.

Experience in procurement for Government clients.

Multi-dimensional cost reporting experience — chart of accounts setup, forecast discipline, executive reporting.

Variation management from technical assessment through cost, negotiation and approval.

Contract administration under Australian construction and events contract forms.

Experience with a structured cost management or commercial system.

Experience in a procurement, purchasing or supply chain role preferred — major event or construction project experience is a plus

Knowledge of procurement best practice, tendering, contract documentation, probity and sourcing strategies

EPCM or head contractor commercial models.

Temporary or event infrastructure sector experience.

Prior involvement in commercial system framework development.

What we offer

End to end project role: set-up, deliver first-year success and set the project up for future success, then oversight and cross-project commercial responsibility.

Direct engagement with senior leadership — Managing Director and Associate Director as immediate peers rather than distant reporting lines.

Cross-project commercial exposure across iEDM's motorsport and major events portfolio.

Meaningful systems ownership — the commercial setup on this programme becomes the reference template for the annual and future delivery of the project.
