Job Description

Our client is an established commercial construction business with a strong reputation for delivering a diverse mix of projects across Sydney. The business has built long-standing relationships across the property and facilities market, with a significant proportion of work generated through repeat clients, referrals and trusted relationships.

n

The Projects team delivers a varied mix of commercial construction work including fit-out, refurbishment, building upgrades, remedial works and more complex project works. It is supported by in-house maintenance and electrical capability, giving the business a broader offering to clients and creating multiple avenues for repeat work and long-term relationships.

n

This role will report directly to the General Manager and will play an important part in continuing to grow the division's pipeline and market presence.

n

The Opportunity

n

You'll spend your time in the market building relationships, identifying opportunities early and positioning the business with the right clients before projects formally come to tender.

n

Your network may include building owners, facilities teams, asset managers, commercial agents, tenant representatives, project managers and property consultants.

n

The business already benefits from a strong level of repeat work, so you won't be starting from scratch. The chance is to strengthen those existing relationships while opening new doors and creating a broader pipeline of project opportunities.

n

The project mix is varied, giving you access to a much broader client base and more ways to generate work.
