- Building and maintaining strong client and stakeholder relationships.
- Identifying and managing project risks and opportunities.
- Ensuring compliance with WHS, quality and environmental standards.
- Leading project meetings and providing regular reporting to management.
- A trade qualification, preferably Carpentry/Building.
- Previous experience managing commercial construction projects.
- Strong understanding of construction methodologies and sequencing.
- Demonstrated experience preparing progress claims and managing project finances.
- Sound knowledge of construction contracts and contract administration.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
