Job description

Company

This builder has become the go-to company for tendered, project-managed, and design-and-construct projects throughout South Australia.

How they became this is simple: the business model is based on basic overheads, cost-plus contracts, as well as efficient and innovative building techniques that keep costs low while maintaining high standards.

The owner and director have been around for a long time in Adelaide, leading companies and being at the forefront of complex yet exciting builds throughout SA for thirty years.

He's looking to mentor this person and bring them into Project Management over the following two projects.

First Project

We have a 12-storey, 155-room commercial student accommodation complex that is nearing structural completion. They are requiring a Project Engineer or Project Coordinator, depending on the background, to oversee the fit-out and refurbishment of the project for the next nine months.

With completion by April, the person needed would be well-versed in projects exceeding $10M, ideally similar to this one, with experience in a comparable project or a background that includes a completed project of a similar scope.

It doesn't have to be of the same size and scope as the above; hopefully, something comparable that is complex enough to avoid being overwhelming.

Background

Tertiary qualifications in Construction, Engineering, Project Management, or a related discipline, preferably from South Australia, but from interstate or overseas is also acceptable.

Proven experience in delivering commercial projects within the Australian market over the past three to five years.

Some experience across key project phases, including delivery, building services, and commissioning

Strong understanding of project controls and delivery methodologies

Confident in coordinating large-scale commercial projects from concept to completion

Professional, proactive, and solution-focused approach

Strong attention to detail and a dedication to continuous improvement.

Team

The team the Director and I have built over the past year for you is second to none. Young, ambitious, and well-suited to the future of the company.

You will have two direct reports under you as you run this project with the Project Manager. First, he is a Junior Project Coordinator, and second, as a graduate, he is working on his first project.

We are hoping to find someone who enjoys taking charge and showing a bit of initiative to guide these two construction professionals on how to do it.

Essentially, an aspiring leader who wants to become a Project Manager in two or three years, if so, this is the role for you.

You'll be paid very well and most likely above the market rate for you're current position, due to having no constraints on package decision-making coming from anyone other than the Managing Director. So, be assured you'll be more than taken care of!

Responsibilities

The Project Engineer / Coordinator is responsible for:

This Project Engineer/Coordinator will co-lead with the Project Manager, ensuring that activities comply with the Contract Specification and Quality requirements.

Ensures that Inspection and Test Plans are undertaken and that all verification check sheets and Inspection Reports are complied with;

Enter relevant activities into the Daily Site Diary.

Liaises with the Contract Administrator in the office to ensure that the latest revision of drawings and schedules listed in the Drawing Register are in use on site;

Ensures Quality documentation is being collated and check sheets are completed as the Project progresses.

Coordination of all Project trades and suppliers to ensure optimal project results.

Monitoring Subcontractor compliance with the Project Safety Plan and Procedures in conjunction with the Project Manager.

Ensuring that statutory safety, environment & quality requirements are met, and the PSEQP undertakes all work under the Site Manager’s control.
