You will work closely with our Project Managers, Site Managers, clients, consultants and subcontractors, taking an active role across the full project lifecycle – from pre-construction and procurement through to site delivery, commissioning and final handover.

Attending and contributing to client, consultant, subcontractor and site meetings
Undertaking regular site inspections and monitoring quality, safety and program performance
Assisting with RFIs, variations, progress claims and project reporting
Reviewing drawings,



specifications and consultant documentation
Coordinating defects, commissioning, handover documentation and project close-out
Supporting Site Managers and subcontractors to resolve day-to-day construction issues
Ensuring works are delivered in accordance with WHS requirements, project specifications and Forge Construction's quality standards
Building strong working relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors
About You

within the construction industry in a Project Coordinator, Contract Administrator, Junior Project Manager or similar role

Confidence dealing directly with clients, subcontractors and consultants




Proficiency in Microsoft Office and familiarity with construction/project management software
A current Australian driver's license
A construction management, building, engineering or related qualification (either obtained or underway) would be highly regarded but is not essential where you can demonstrate relevant industry experience.
Why Join Forge Construction?
At Forge, you'll be part of a
small and experienced team where your contribution genuinely matters
.
Unlike larger organisations where roles can become highly specialised, you'll gain exposure to the complete construction process and work directly alongside the people responsible for delivering our projects.

Project Manager role
Exposure to a diverse range of
commercial and government projects
Direct involvement with clients, consultants and subcontractors
