  • Experience in a QS or contract admin role within commercial construction
  • Familiarity with Procore or similar construction platforms
  • Strong understanding of construction contracts and progress claims
  • High attention to detail and solid organisational skills
  • Someone who can either run projects independently or is eager to grow with support
Salary Range: $100K - $120K 

Why Join:
