Commercial Manager overseeing job costing, billing, cash flow, and renewable project administration for an Indigenous Australian electrical contractor. Building dashboards and digital workflows for commercial control.
Responsibilities:
- Set up baseline budgets for won tenders and track actual versus estimated costs across direct field labor, plant, materials, and subcontractor packages
- Monitor project margins in real time, forecast final cost-to-complete figures, and identify margin drift
- Prepare and submit compliant monthly progress claims, manage client payment schedules, price and document contract variations, and mitigate disputed claims
- Build and maintain rolling 4- to 12-week cash flow forecasts
- Oversee accounts payable payment runs and manage accounts receivable debtor collections
- Audit purchase order commitments against supplier invoices and verify subcontractor delivery dockets
- Coordinate and lodge grid-connection applications and pre-approvals with local service providers, including Power and Water Corporation
- Manage STC documentation, Clean Energy Regulator compliance, and electrical safety certificates
- Compile job packs for field electricians and subcontractors
- Track approval milestones, schedule installations, manage customer delivery updates, and lead final handover and warranty documentation
- Design and maintain a weekly commercial dashboard covering gross profit, cost variances, budget alerts, progress claims, cash flow commitments, and debtor exposure
- Migrate manual project workflows into standardized digital systems using trade ERP tools
- Take operational ownership of job costing, progress billing, cash flow forecasting, and renewable project administration while reporting directly to the Indigenous Founder and Managing Director
Requirements:
- 5+ years of direct experience in construction commercial management, project financial control, contract administration, or quantity surveying within an electrical, civil, or commercial subcontracting business
- Demonstrated mastery of construction job costing, including tracking daily labor burn rates, WIP (Work In Progress) allocations, and material reconciliation
- Proven hands-on experience submitting progress claims and variations under standard commercial subcontracts and Australian statutory requirements
- Proficiency with cloud accounting and construction platforms, specifically Xero, SimPRO (or equivalent systems like Jobpac, AroFlo, or Procore), and advanced Microsoft Excel
- Strong commercial diplomacy: the assertiveness to track down supplier invoices, negotiate claim certifications with head contractors, and enforce timesheet compliance with field teams
- High autonomy: track record of establishing financial processes and reporting cadences from the ground up without daily supervision
