  • Lead project delivery from award through to completion.
  • Build and manage subcontractor and supplier relationships.
  • Provide leadership, mentoring and strategic direction to the team.
  • Monitor project performance, budgets, schedules and risk.
  • Contribute to the ongoing growth strategy of the business.
About You

  • Established systems, resources and operational support.
  • Competitive salary package including company vehicle or allowance.
  • Long-term career opportunity with genuine influence over the future direction of the business.
