Have you recently completed a degree in Construction Management, Project Management or a related field? Ready to kickstart your career in construction?

Want a structured graduate program across Estimating, Contract Administration and Project Management? You’ll learn while working on real projects across South Australia.

Well… we just happen to be on the lookout for our next Graduate.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely wants a career in construction. You’ll have a good head for numbers, attention to detail and plenty of curiosity. You’ll also be interested in how technology, including AI, can improve the way we work. In return, we’ll give you real responsibility and plenty of opportunities to grow. You’ll also get a supportive team setting, with a fair bit of banter along the way.

About the role.

You’ll join our graduate team and support both our Estimating and Construction teams.

We deliver everything from maintenance and refurbishment to larger construction projects. That variety means you’ll gain experience across different projects and parts of the business.

You’ll start by supporting our Estimating team with tenders and pricing. You’ll then gain experience in Contract Administration and project delivery. As your skills grow, you’ll start tendering your own projects as a Graduate Estimator. From there, you’ll progress towards running projects as a Project Administrator. You’ll work mostly from our Klemzig office, with free parking just northeast of the CBD.

You’ll report to Jayden, our Estimating Manager and, according to the person writing this ad, an all-round great bloke to learn from.

What you'll get up to.

We’ll keep you learning,



but some of your work will include:

- assisting with tenders, measuring plans and subcontractor enquiries;
- attending tender briefings and site visits;
- reading and interpreting drawings and specifications;
- preparing scopes of work and helping procure subcontractors and suppliers;
- assisting with budgets, variations, subcontracts, invoices and project cost forecasts; and
- using technology and AI tools to research, analyse information and find better ways of working.

You’ll have your own responsibilities while working across the wider team. No two days will look exactly the same. Here are 6 things we think will make you ideal for this role:

1. You’ve recently completed a degree in Construction Management, Project Management or a related construction field.
2. You communicate clearly and have solid numeracy and computer skills.
3. You have a genuine work ethic and like getting things done, even when nobody is watching.
4. You bring enthusiasm, positivity and a willingness to have a crack.
5. You’re a team player because, around here, we succeed together.
6. You’re curious, enjoy solving problems and want to explore how technology can improve construction.

Here are 3 reasons why we hope you'll love working for us: 1.



Feel valued and valuable.You’ll get real responsibility early in your career. You’ll work directly with subcontractors, consultants and clients. You won’t be a small cog in a huge machine, and your salary will grow along with you.

2. Enjoy varied work.One day you might price a council fence replacement. The next could involve a stone finial for a heritage façade or a new 800m² sporting facility. We do plenty in between as well.

3. A genuinely great place to work.We’re a certified Great Place to Work. We want our people to enjoy coming to work, feel supported and build long-term careers with us.

And here are 3 reasons why we might not be for you:

1. We do a huge variety of work, but we don’t build CBD skyscrapers. If high-rise construction is your dream, that’s probably not us – and that’s okay.

2. Construction doesn’t always go to plan. Problems come up and sometimes there’s pressure involved. You’ll need to enjoy solving problems and finding a way forward.

3. We rely on trust and independence. We’ll support you and teach you, but we’ll also expect you to take ownership as your skills grow.

Apply

If you think we could be a good fit for each other, we’d love to hear from you. Send us your resume and cover letter.

Really want to work with us?

We get plenty of applications, and many look pretty similar. We’re tech-forward, so we’re not going to tell you not to use AI. Use the tools available to you, but make your application yours. Write naturally. Tell us about yourself and why you want to work with us. Give us something that helps us understand who you are, and why you're a great fit for this role.
