COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our client is an independent cost and commercial advisory consultancy with a growing national footprint across the Australian infrastructure sector. The firm advises on transport, resources and major civil infrastructure, supporting clients through complex, high-value programmes where clear commercial thinking is essential.

The business is led by its owners, who combine sharp commercial instincts with deep technical expertise. Under their leadership it has developed a distinctive character: entrepreneurial without being chaotic, ambitious without being corporate, and responsible about results without taking itself too seriously.

Queensland is a key focus of the firm’s next phase of growth. With a strengthening infrastructure pipeline across the state and nationally, the business is appointing an Associate Director to become a central figure in its Brisbane operation and to help shape how that growth unfolds.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT & PROJECTS

If you are going to build relationships, take on responsibility and work hard, it should be somewhere your contribution is visible and valued. In this role you will sit close to the owners, with a direct say in operational priorities and the direction of the Brisbane business, rather than being one of many layers in a large hierarchy.

You will lead cost management and commercial advisory assignments across a broad range of infrastructure work, from early feasibility and procurement strategy through contract administration and delivery-phase commercial performance. The work is technically demanding and client-facing, with senior relationships that you will own and develop.

The culture is collaborative, approachable and team-first. Autonomy is genuine, good ideas are acted on, and leaders are invested in the people around them. For an ambitious professional ready to help build something,



it offers a level of influence that is hard to find in larger organisations.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead infrastructure cost management and commercial advisory assignments across a portfolio of major projects
- Manage senior client relationships, providing strategic cost and commercial advice
- Oversee feasibility, estimating, procurement, contract administration and commercial performance
- Manage commercial risk and maintain high technical standards across all deliverables
- Develop, coach and lead a growing, high-performing Brisbane team
- Identify and pursue new business opportunities across Queensland and nationally
- Work directly with the Directors on operational priorities, resourcing and growth strategy

WHAT YOU NEED

- Degree in Quantity Surveying, Engineering, Construction Management or a related field
- Substantial infrastructure cost management or commercial advisory experience
- Robust technical grounding across pre- and post-contract services
- Sound knowledge of Australian standard contracts (e.g. AS4000, AS2124) and infrastructure procurement models
- Proven ability to lead teams, earn client trust and resolve complex commercial issues
- AIQS membership or equivalent professional standing is advantageous
- Commercial drive, sound judgement and an approachable, team-first manner

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN A salary of $220K–$250K plus performance bonuses, dependent on experience. You will have real influence, autonomy and visibility in a business with significant ambitions and excellent leadership, along with a clear platform to grow your role as the Queensland operation expands. If you want to shape a growing business rather than disappear into a large hierarchy, this is an opportunity well worth exploring.
