The business has a long-standing relationship with both the builder and client, providing a stable project environment where the focus is on collaboration, commercial management and delivering the project successfully.

This is not a role where you'll be expected to fight every commercial battle. Instead, you'll work closely with the project and site teams to manage contractual obligations, identify commercial risks and ensure the business is appropriately protected throughout delivery.

The Role

• Oversee the commercial and contractual management of a $200m electrical package.
• Work closely with the Project Manager and site delivery team.
• Manage contractual notices, extensions of time and delay claims.
• Monitor contractual obligations and ensure compliance with project requirements.
• Identify and manage commercial risks and potential liabilities.
• Review subcontractor claims, variations and progress payments.
• Provide commercial advice and contractual guidance to the project team.
• Maintain strong working relationships with the builder, client and subcontractors.

About You

• Previous experience as a Contract Manager within an electrical contracting business.
• Experience managing large-scale electrical packages on major construction projects.
• Strong understanding of head contracts, subcontract agreements and contractual risk.
• Experience managing EOTs, delays, variations and commercial claims.
• Able to work collaboratively with project teams and build strong client relationships.
• Commercially astute, organised and confident managing complex contractual matters.

The Opportunity

• Join an established electrical contractor with a strong project pipeline.
• Take ownership of a significant $200m electrical package.
• Work on a major Data Centre project in Western Sydney.
• Established relationships with the builder and client.
• A collaborative environment with a focus on protecting the business and delivering successful outcomes.
