Founded locally and now 50 years strong, Coverite Projects is a specialist design and construction partner, including education, aged care, commercial, early learning, and hospitality.

A confident communicator with exceptional interpersonal, negotiation and presentation skills

A solid understanding of construction processes, project lifecycles, and stakeholder management

Highly organised, proactive, and able to balance competing priorities with professionalism and care

Bonus Points For

A strong network in construction or property development

Experience using CRM platforms (e.g. HubSpot) or project management tools (e.g. Monday.com)

Familiarity with D&C delivery models and feasibility planning

A genuine interest in education, aged care, and community-impact projects
