Own the coordination, procurement and commercial paperwork behind the projects at one of the South West’s fastest growing commercial electrical contractors. Real ownership, in a team of A-graders who set a high bar and back each other.

About the role

This is the project engine room. From the day a job is handed over to the day it closes out, you keep it organised, ordered, documented and moving.

You will run procurement across several live projects at once, raising orders and staying on suppliers so materials land before the crew needs them. You will keep the project registers and documentation accurate, get us prequalified and inducted on every builder’s site before we mobilise, and verify the subcontractors we put on those sites.

Every job runs to a checklist of key milestones and deliverables. You will work it ahead of time rather than react to it, so the next thing is already done when the project gets there.

You will also look after the commercial side of each job — progress claims and variations prepared on time, so the business gets paid properly for everything it does. These go to the Operations Manager for approval, so the commercial call is never sitting on you alone.

You report to the Operations Manager, with the autonomy to run your area your way and a clear mandate to keep making it better.

Who it suits

We have written this role to fit the person, not the other way around.

If you have coordinated or administered commercial construction projects before, you will be running jobs within weeks and we will hand you more as you take it. If you come from a strong administration or procurement background in a trade or construction business and you want to step up into project work, we will train you into the commercial side. What we cannot teach is organisation and follow through.

Where and when you will work

Full time (although close to FT will also be considered for the right candidate), Monday to Friday with a short day on Friday, based with the team at our Davenport office in Bunbury. There are occasional site visits across the South West when a job needs eyes on it.

This is an office based role. Procurement, claims and keeping a job moving work best alongside the team, so it is not a work from home position, and we would rather say so upfront than have it come as a surprise.

You will need to be living locally and hold unrestricted working rights in Australia.





What you will be doing

- Coordinating procurement across live projects — raising orders, tracking deliveries, following up suppliers

- Working through the key checklist items on every job, staying ahead of what is coming up rather than chasing it

- Preparing progress claims and variations on time

- Project prequalification: builder portals, site inductions, worker sign on and document uploads

- Prequalifying and verifying the subcontractors we engage on projects

- Maintaining the project registers and keeping documentation accurate and current

- Tracking project budgets and reporting on them

- Raising issues, risks, delays and material shortfalls before they bite

- Liaising with builders, suppliers, subcontractors and our own team

- Continuously improving the systems behind all of it

You will not be starting from scratch

If you have inherited a shoebox of paper dockets and half finished spreadsheets before, this is not that. We run connected systems with a documented process that takes a job from handover through to close out, and automation doing more of the lifting every month.

What we want is someone who will work with that setup and improve it. If you can see where something should be automated, tightened or removed, we want to hear it and we will back you to build it.

What good looks like

Six months in, jobs are ahead of their checklists rather than behind them, materials are on site before the crew needs them, every job is prequalified and inducted before mobilisation, and claims go in complete and on time every month. Anyone can open a job folder and know exactly where that project is.

We have built a solid base. We are looking for someone to take it further, not keep it ticking.

What you will bring

Essential

- Experience in a construction, building or contracting environment

- Strong organisation, and the ability to run several projects at once without dropping any of them

- High attention to detail and accuracy

- Clear communication, written and verbal,



with people on site and in the office

- Confidence with numbers and commercial paperwork

- Competent across Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Outlook

- The judgement to make a call and the ownership to see it through

Nice to have

- Commercial construction or electrical contracting experience

- Experience preparing progress claims or pricing variations

- Procurement and supplier coordination experience

- Job or project management software experience

- An understanding of RFIs, submittals and drawing revision control
