We're partnering with a well respected, not for profit organisation that oversees significant government capital grant funding for a large network of schools across Queensland, to find their next Capital Program Advisor.

This is a different kind of role for someone with a quantity surveying, construction or contract management background who wants to step away from site based delivery and into a broader advisory and governance position.

In this role you'll:

• Assess capital grant applications from schools and support the panel assessment and prioritisation process
• Review tender, contractual and payment documentation once projects are approved, providing well founded recommendations
• Manage contract administration, variations and risk across funded capital projects
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders and provide authoritative advice on capital programs and procurement

About you:

• A relevant tertiary qualification in quantity surveying, construction or contract management, or equivalent experience
• Around 5 to 7 years in a QS, construction or contract administration environment

This is a permanent opportunity offering an attractive package, hybrid flexibility and career longevity.

If you're ready for a change of pace without stepping away from your technical background, we'd love to hear from you.
