The successful candidate will be well positioned to progress into a broader leadership role, overseeing commercial functions across multiple projects as the business continues to grow.

In return, you'll receive a highly competitive package of up to $230,000, relocation assistance for interstate applicants, long-term career opportunities and the chance to join a business that genuinely invests in its people.
