You'll work across both pre-contract and post-contract services, supporting the delivery of projects from early cost planning through to final account.

• Weekly Friday morning tea to connect with the wider team
• Flexible start and finish times to suit your lifestyle
• Flexibility for life's appointments, whether it's getting your car serviced or attending personal commitments
• Long-standing team with excellent staff retention and a supportive leadership group
