Careers

We are a successful civil contracting business who has been operating in Australia for over 35 years. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

Join a landmark infrastructure project as a Project Finance Manager, that’s set to shape the future of Melbourne's transport network. This is an opportunity to be part of a team delivering critical civil works that will improve connectivity and create lasting benefits for the community. You'll be working in a collaborative environment alongside industry-leading experts, leveraging cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies.

About the role:

• Oversee project cost controls, ensuring accurate financial processes and compliance with company governance and client obligations.
• Lead month-end close processes, including cost-to-date reviews, cash flow preparation, and project result analysis.
• Support project teams with forecasts and cost-to-complete reporting to ensure financial accuracy.
• Prepare and manage client claims, ensuring recoverable-cost obligations are met and liaising with auditors as needed.
• The ability to manage and develop the project administration team while staying up-to-date with industry standards, policies, and compliance requirements.

The successful applicant will have the following skills and experience:

• Tertiary qualifications in degree (Accounting or Business) with a minimum of 5 years relevant work experience in a civil construction environment.
• Demonstrated experience in financial management, cost control, and reporting within large-scale infrastructure or construction projects.
• Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage teams, liaise with clients, and ensure compliance with governance and commercial obligations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Current C-Class Driver’s licence.

We have a range of additional benefits available for our employees:

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).
• Time for life / Work life balance – birthday leave, purchased leave program, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangements.
• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program.
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program.

Many of our projects are located in regional areas, therefore all applicants must hold a current Driver’s Licence and have their own transport.
