Commercial Builder | Western Sydney | Permanent | Office-Based
Ready to run your own project, not just your own packages?
You've been doing the work.
Now it's time for the title.
If you're a CA or Project Engineer who's spent the last few years running packages, managing subbies, and quietly holding projects together, you're ready for more.
You just need a builder willing to back you.
This is that opportunity.
Our client is a well-established commercial builder with a strong reputation across Sydney's commercial, education, and residential sectors.
With several major recent wins and a secured pipeline, they're growing their delivery team and need someone ready to step into a Project Manager seat on a new commercial build in Western Sydney.
The Role
This is a genuine PM seat with direct access to the Directors.
You'll be accountable for the end-to-end delivery of your project, from procurement and subcontractor engagement through to programme, cost control, client reporting, and handover.
The role is predominantly office-based, working alongside an experienced site team who will run day-to-day site operations while you drive the commercial and delivery outcomes.
What you'll be doing
Run projects from start to finish, covering programming, procurement, cost control, variations and progress claims.
Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, superintendents, consultants and authorities.
Back up site managers, and engage and oversee subcontractors and suppliers.
Track budgets, forecast cost to complete, and deliver monthly reports on cost, program and risk.
Lead WHS, quality and environmental compliance, including reviewing SWMS.
Control project documentation, coordination and handover packages.
Assist the estimating team with tender reviews, buildability advice and the transition from tender to delivery.




What you'll bring
A degree in Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline.
At least 3 years' experience as a Contracts Administrator or Project Engineer with a head contractor – this is essential
Experience on commercial construction or residential project experience highly regarded
Strong knowledge of the Sydney construction market and subcontractor base
Sharp attention to detail, solid commercial sense and clear communication
The ambition to grow – you're not looking for "just another CA or PE role"
Why this role?
Genuine opportunity– a clear, supported pathway from CA/PE into Project Management
Secure pipeline – join a builder with work locked in, not chasing the next job
Sector variety – exposure across commercial, education, and residential
Western Sydney based – skip the CBD commute and work where the growth is
Reputable builder – a name that carries weight on your CV
What's on offer for you?
Excellent salary package: $160k-$180k (Base salary) + Superannuation, negotiable depending on Australian experience.
A seat at the table, not the sidelines – work directly with the Directors, who'll back you, mentor you, and actually notice when you deliver
Variety that keeps you sharp – commercial, education, and residential projects, so no two years look the same
Pipeline you can bank on – a secured run of work means your next project is already lined up, not hoped for
Permanent, reliable, and here for the long haul – a highly established builder with the track record to prove it
Start now – immediate start available for the right person
Strong understanding of the industry, management and site delivery.
Strong communication and leadership skills.
Ability to work closely with site teams, subcontractors, consultants and clients.
Full Australian working rights.
