Bilingual proficiency in English and Mandarin (written and spoken) is essential.

Strong working knowledge of building practices and construction processes.

Familiarity with the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Standards is highly regarded.

Detail-oriented, self-motivated, and able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Prior experience in building compliance, QA/QC, or modular housing is advantageous.

What We Offer

A collaborative and supportive work environment.

Frequent travel opportunities and international exposure.

Clear career progression and professional development pathways.

Long-term opportunity to become a partner in the business after demonstrating proven value, with access to dividend share and partnership agreements for the right candidate.

The chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of modular and prefabricated housing.
