Your day may include travel to sites to confirm project scope, delivery requirements or oversight of construction works. Whilst we endeavour to allocate projects within your geographical area, due to resourcing you may have projects which require you to travel to remote country areas.

This role will enable you to use and strengthen your project management, contract management, stakeholder management and communication skills by effectively managing and delivering a program of minor works.
