• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A practical, solutions-focused approach
• The ability to move comfortably between the detail of project delivery and the bigger picture of business performance

The business has an established presence within the Sydney commercial construction market, a strong project pipeline and an experienced leadership team.
