• Ensure appropriate flow down of risks from the Head Contract to Consultants, Suppliers and Subcontractors.
• Draft, negotiate and administer Consultant contracts during the tender phase, following corporate procedures and securing necessary approvals (including payments, variations and final accounts).
• Develop and implement programs, procurement schedules and commercial templates to support bids.
• Provide senior management with commercial and contractual advice through presentations, risk analyses and formal reports.
• Collaborate with finance, legal, design, technical teams and JV partners to support bid outcomes.
• Review and prepare financial and insurance documentation to support tender submissions.
Your skills and experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Quantity Surveying, Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years’ experience in pre-contracts and commercial management, ideally on major infrastructure projects.
• Strong knowledge of Australian construction contracts, procurement processes, and commercial law.
• Proven ability to negotiate contract terms and manage complex procurement packages.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, project finance systems, and document management systems.
