WHO YOU ARE
This Darwin-based role will suit a commercially driven construction professional with a strong foundation in engineering principles and contract management.

Experienced in managing project budgets, cash flow, and financial reporting from pre-contract to final account
Capable of identifying, assessing, and mitigating commercial risk across design and delivery phases
Technically competent with systems such as Jobpac, Aconex, and Microsoft Excel
Strong communication and leadership skills with a collaborative, solutions-focused approach
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As Commercial Manager, you’ll lead all commercial activities across a technically complex project, ensuring that contractual obligations are met, risks are managed, and project performance is commercially sound.
Oversee head contract administration, progress claims, variations, and notices
Manage procurement strategy and execution across all trade packages
Support design development and project planning with cost and contractual input
Monitor project costs, maintain rolling forecasts, and produce monthly financial reports
Review subcontractor claims and variations, ensuring compliance and cost alignment
Ensure accurate commercial documentation, records, and audit trails are maintained
Provide commercial guidance to project managers, site teams, and design consultants
