Job description

Western Sydney | Full-time | On-site

Lead the commercial function of a growing infrastructure business backed by a major NSW energy group.

Our client is an ambitious electrical infrastructure contractor combining the financial backing of an established energy group with the agility and opportunity of a growing business.

This is a chance to take genuine ownership of the commercial function, work closely with senior leadership and influence how the business develops.

The opportunity

You'll oversee both contracts and procurement, with responsibility for:

• Leading and developing the contracts and procurement functions.
• Managing commercial performance, contractual risk and project outcomes.
• Overseeing head contracts, subcontracts, variations, claims and disputes.
• Negotiating with major contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
• Supporting senior leadership with commercial decisions and business growth.
• Strengthening commercial processes and holding suppliers accountable for performance.

About you

We're looking for an experienced construction commercial professional who understands the realities of delivering infrastructure projects.

You'll bring:

• Strong commercial management experience with a construction or infrastructure contractor.
• Hands-on experience managing construction contracts, claims, variations, EOTs and negotiations.
• Experience leading commercial or contracts professionals.
• Sound commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders when necessary.
• The ability to take ownership, make decisions and operate independently.

Experience in electrical infrastructure is advantageous, but not essential. Strong candidates from civil construction, rail and major infrastructure are encouraged to apply.

This is not a corporate procurement, commercial finance or purely advisory position. We're looking for someone with genuine, hands-on construction commercial experience.

You'll have the stability of a major energy group behind you, the opportunity to lead an established function and the freedom to make a meaningful impact as the business grows.

Location: Western Sydney. Five days onsite.

If you're ready to take broader ownership of a commercial function, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
