• Experience working with Tier 1 or Tier 2 builders
• Knowledge of electrical, controls, automation or integrated technology systems
• Experience reviewing contracts, variations and procurement requirements
• Relevant qualifications in Engineering, Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or a related discipline

Why Crossmuller?

• Work on major data centre and mission-critical infrastructure projects
• Partner with leading builders, developers and Australia's largest organisations
