Description
Commercial Builder | Western Sydney | Permanent | Office-Based
Ready to run your own project, not just your own packages?
You’ve been doing the work. Now it’s time for the title. If you’re a CA or Project Engineer who’s spent the last few years running packages, managing subbies, and quietly holding projects together, you’re ready for more. You just need a builder willing to back you.
This is that opportunity.
Our client is a well-established commercial builder with a strong reputation across Sydney’s commercial, education, and residential sectors. With several major recent wins and a secured pipeline, they’re growing their delivery team and need someone ready to step into a Project Manager seat on a new commercial build in Western Sydney.
The Role
This is a genuine PM seat with direct access to the Directors. You’ll be accountable for the end-to-end delivery of your project, from procurement and subcontractor engagement through to programme, cost control, client reporting, and handover. The role is predominantly office-based, working alongside an experienced site team who will run day-to-day site operations while you drive the commercial and delivery outcomes.
What you’ll be doing
- Run projects from start to finish, covering programming, procurement, cost control, variations and progress claims.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, superintendents, consultants and authorities.
- Back up site managers, and engage and oversee subcontractors and suppliers.
- Track budgets, forecast cost to complete, and deliver monthly reports on cost, program and risk.
- Lead WHS, quality and environmental compliance, including reviewing SWMS.
- Control project documentation, coordination and handover packages.
- Assist the estimating team with tender reviews, buildability advice and the transition from tender to delivery.
What you’ll bring
- A degree in Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline.
- At least 3 years’ experience as a Contracts Administrator or Project Engineer with a head contractor – this is essential
- Experience on commercial construction or residential project experience highly regarded
- Strong knowledge of the Sydney construction market and subcontractor base
- Sharp attention to detail, solid commercial sense and clear communication
- The ambition to grow – you’re not looking for “just another CA or PE role”
Why this role?
- Genuine opportunity– a clear, supported pathway from CA/PE into Project Management
- Secure pipeline – join a builder with work locked in, not chasing the next job
- Sector variety – exposure across commercial, education, and residential
- Western Sydney based – skip the CBD commute and work where the growth is
- Reputable builder – a name that carries weight on your CV
What's on offer for you?
- Excellent salary package: $160k-$180k (Base salary) + Superannuation, negotiable depending on Australian experience.
- A seat at the table, not the sidelines – work directly with the Directors, who’ll back you, mentor you, and actually notice when you deliver
- Variety that keeps you sharp – commercial, education, and residential projects, so no two years look the same
- Pipeline you can bank on – a secured run of work means your next project is already lined up, not hoped for
- Permanent, stable, and here for the long haul – a highly established builder with the track record to prove it
- Start now – immediate start available for the right person
- Strong understanding of the industry, management and site delivery.
- Strong communication and leadership skills.
- Ability to work closely with site teams, subcontractors, consultants and clients.
- Full Australian working rights.
