This is a unique opportunity to step into a senior commercial leadership role with a contractor delivering complex infrastructure and services projects across Victoria.

The business operates across civil infrastructure, early works for large commercial builds, substations, earthworks, drainage, and underground services. Projects span metropolitan and regional areas and are delivered with in-house plant, traffic management, and administrative support.

They’re looking for someone with formal qualifications in finance, accounting or economics and experience in a senior leadership role such as head of finance, commercial manager or CFO. You’ll bring a strong grasp of cost strategies, legal and contract structures, reporting frameworks and governance. You’re experienced in business case development and understand how to align commercial systems with operational reality. There is also scope to support business development strategy and guide forecasting and growth projections.

The ideal person is methodical and detail-driven but also calm, personable and able to engage across all levels of the business. You’ll be confident presenting financials in clear, practical terms and able to build buy-in across operations and leadership teams.

This role suits someone who thrives on streamlining systems, improving visibility and enabling better decisions through accurate data and strong commercial insight.

You’ll be backed by a CEO who values commercial structure and clear reporting, and there’s room to genuinely shape the way the business plans, operates and grows.

But it's not just head down staring at the numbers. The team gets together quarterly for social activities that include go-karting, barefoot lawn bowls, and the odd pub lunch. The leaders have a modern approach to work-life balance, and the vibe in the office is that of a group of friends, in it together, kicking goals.

Salary is up to $230k, including super.
