  • Coordinate inspections, testing, and quality assurance activities
  • Work closely with subcontractors, consultants, and the project team to keep works moving

About you

  • Tertiary qualification in Construction Management or related field
  • Experience working for a commercial builder (head contractor preferred)
  • Strong coordination and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and drive outcomes
  • Solid understanding of construction methodology and project delivery
  • High attention to detail with a proactive approach
