For almost half a century, this business has dominated the South Australian construction industry by being a builder clients can trust repeatedly.
The founders of this company have passed down these values, principles, and strategies to the current leaders and managers of this award-winning business for decades, ensuring that the pioneering spirit is now in the hands of the business's future leaders.
Having almost 100 employees across our great state isn't easy unless you have a culture that puts its people first above all else.
This is the secret to their success and making them a household name in SA.
Culture This brings me again to what they value most: their people.
Some construction companies cut corners and see their employees as the help.
This business is the polar opposite.
They've spent millions of dollars fitting out one of the best headquarters I've ever visited.
Having a place where their staff can look forward to coming to work every day is the difference between a harmonious culture and a worker bee mindset.
Whether it's a flexible working environment, working from home understanding, a well-resourced team and mentor, or the open-door career development and learning policy.
This business grows every facet of a construction professional's career pathway to ensure you become the best you can be.
This begins and ends with the company's leadership, which is the example everyone wants to emulate and become the company's future leaders.
Leadership This company has had the same general manager, construction manager, and commercial manager leading the organisation chart from the front for almost a decade, which shows that it's a place worth staying in and a company worth working for.
They live and breathe the company's vision, knowing what they do matters and that people are always watching.
"Your culture can't be faked because it counts only what your people do when you're not around."
David - CTA This opportunity would suit a contract administrator who feels it's time to join a company that will give them full autonomy over the project they are working on while not spreading thinly on another one.
This means it would be for someone who thinks they've got enough experience in their career to be confident in administering a project of around $10M—$20M without having to be micromanaged and instructed in what to do all the time.
The Project Manager on this project is looking for a partner and equal team member, not someone who sees them as their direct report.
Linear leadership is critical for this business.
This could mean you've got 2- 3 years of experience as a junior Contract Administrator on projects of around $5M—$15M, and you feel it's time to level up into bigger projects and prove to yourself that you're ready for the next step.
This could also mean you've got 5 – 8 years of experience as a Senior Contract Administrator on projects worth around $20M—$30M, and you feel your next move must give you the freedom you've been looking for.
This could be working on-site instead of the office or the salary you know you're worth.
Whatever your motivating factors for being in the market and reading this advertisement, rest assured that this business could be the place you're looking for, personally and professionally.
Mindset I find it belittling to whoever is reading this to list a bunch of generic responsibilities and skills you no doubt already have, but for the sake of someone who doesn't have them all yet.
Please see below for a brief breakdown of what you'd do daily if you landed this opportunity.
Firstly, you'd be involved in the end-to-end delivery of the entire project.
Depending on which one suits you most.
You could administer a retail project worth around $10M or an even larger healthcare project worth around $20M.
Naturally, variations must be raised and submitted daily to the project's scope and budgetary considerations.Not to mention lodging RFI's (requests for information) and EOTs (extension of time) claims would be part of your weekly duties.
At the same time, you prepare and process the progress claims for the suppliers/vendors and subcontractors you're working with throughout the project's life cycle.Although the personality of the person they are looking for isn't critical in the decision-making criteria, the ideal candidate would be very comfortable liaising with internal and external stakeholders without any issues.What comes with autonomy, freedom, and an excellent salary is accountability, responsibility, and specific expectations.
This means they'd expect your risk analysis, improvement methodologies, and profit margin strategies to be high enough to that of an experienced CA if you're asking for the $140,000 + Super salary bracket.This would show in your strong negotiation skills, efficient time management, and ability to juggle various deadlines without the pressure of the job getting to you."Years of service doesn't equate to mastery, but dedication to your craft does." David - CTA Person Like my above statement, telling you how to do your job isn't what I'm here for, but I can explain some of the critical core competencies and crucial DNA that would be advantageous if you had such traits in your repertoire.
Start with a sense of self-actualisation, which means having a deep drive to face challenges and find fulfillment in your work.
This is the most essential and shared critical DNA trait for all top performers.Someone who has some grit to them.
This means you have courage, resolve, and strength of character under hardship, giving you excellent negotiation skills and a never-back-down attitude.Someone conscientious.
You are never late; you meet expectations and are thoughtful of others.
Not because you are obligated externally to do it but because you are motivated internally to do it for yourself due to the high standards you have for yourself.Someone who is a team player.
This means you understand your role, welcome collaboration, hold yourself accountable, have a positive attitude, and commit to your team until the project is completed.Someone who is intellectually curious.
This means you constantly ask questions, challenge the status quo, and intrinsically push yourself to grow.If we have a few of those competencies and traits that resonate with you, we are off to a great start.
