  • Run weekly team meetings, review KPIs, and drive workflow improvements.
  • Collaborate with senior leaders to manage risk, maintain margins, and support business growth.
  • Lead monthly resource planning and support team development and onboarding.

What You'll Bring

  • Deep understanding of the residential construction industry and pre-construction processes.
  • Strong knowledge of BOQs, contract workflows, and site readiness requirements.
  • Proficient in Onsite Companion, Databuild, and construction/project management tools.

Skills

  • Excellent leadership and coaching capabilities – you know how to lift team performance.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and optimise operations.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and supporting client/partner conversations when needed.
