Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers and internal project teams.
Drive project performance across safety, quality, programme and budget.
Support constructability reviews, tender development and delivery planning.
Build strong relationships with Defence representatives, consultants and key stakeholders.
Champion continuous improvement and best practice across project delivery.

What You'll Bring

Tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Building, Engineering or a related discipline, or extensive senior construction leadership experience.

Excellent communication and commercial awareness.
Ability to obtain and maintain a Defence Security Clearance.

What Will Set You Apart

Experience with Design & Construct and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) delivery models.
Strong understanding of Defence compliance and project delivery requirements.
Ability to mentor and develop future construction leaders.

Why Join McMahon Services?
