- The ability to independently manage subcontractor packages
- A relevant qualification in construction management, quantity surveying or a related discipline
- Strong communication, organisation and commercial skills

Previous experience on apartment developments will be highly regarded. However, capable Contracts Administrators from other complex commercial building environments are also encouraged to apply.
Your Career
This is an opportunity to join an excellent project team with genuine continuity of work across the Gold Coast. You will gain experience on a major $100m+ apartment development while being supported by experienced construction professionals who can help advance your commercial capability. With two further Broadbeach projects scheduled to commence in 2027, the business can offer a clear pathway beyond the current project without requiring relocation away from the Gold Coast.
