You'll keep every project moving, from startup through handover, with real rigour.

And you'll lead your Contract Administrators' development, mentoring them and stepping in to resolve disputes when they arise.

It's a role built for someone ready to run projects end-to-end and lead the people delivering them, with real accountability, real financial ownership, and a team who look to you.

Who Are We Looking For...

• Degree in Construction Management or similar, with 3-5 years D&C experience in commercial fit-out and refurbishment.

• Strong commercial acumen and financial discipline, with a track record of delivering projects at or above target margin.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to maintain strong client relationships and consistently meet client expectations.
