  • Contribute to regional strategy and continuous improvement initiatives.

You are a commercially minded construction professional with a strong track record in delivering mining infrastructure or civil works under head contract arrangements. You're just as comfortable walking a site as you are engaging with senior stakeholders. You understand the dynamics of regional delivery, and thrive on leading teams, securing work, and making things happen.

Experience & Qualifications

  • Proven success in delivering and/or managing projects across mining, infrastructure, or bulk earthworks.
