Description du poste

Thick-skinned? Commercially sharp? Know how to handle tough subcontractors without blinking?

This one’s for you:

We’re partnering with a top-tier civil contractor delivering major roads and transport infrastructure across Queensland — think multi-year programs, high-value packages, and all the Tier 1 complexity without the hand-holding.

They’re on the hunt for a Senior CA or Commercial Managerwho’s not afraid to call the shots, negotiate hard, and hold people to account — on-site and off.

This role demands someone who:

Doesn’t shy away from a robust conversation

Knows their numbers and their contracts inside out

Can manage risk, cashflow, and claims like a pro

s respected (and a little feared) by subcontractors

Thrives in a high-accountability, performance-driven culture

You’ll work closely with project directors, contribute to commercial strategy, and play a pivotal role in keeping delivery tight, efficient, and profitable.

Why You’ll Want This Role:

Tier 1 projects without the politics

Clear commercial leadership and autonomy

Work with a team that knows their stuff and gets sh*t done

Progression into higher commercial leadership if that’s your thing

This isn’t a soft, corporate seat-warmer role. We need someone who can bring backbone and commercial control to high-pressure, high-stakes environments.
