You're excited about what the future holds. We're excited too.

As a contracts or commercial manager, you know that plans change, timelines are flexible and being adaptive is a superpower.

If that sounds like you, keep reading.

We could tell you all the amazing things and people that make up our team and business, but that is below.

We are looking for people who are excited by the possibility of tomorrow. A new journey. Something truly different. Exploring with people driven to push the boundaries and see what is over the horizon.

Your Opportunity

We are transforming the way projects are delivered but we need people with amazing skills, relevant knowledge and a burning belief that the better way is out there, ready to be discovered.

We want individuals who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, who embrace the tough moments and see them as opportunities to innovate and grow.

If you’re ready to push the boundaries, work alongside a team that shares your drive, and take on a role where you can make a real impact, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

We don’t track time, or have a billable hour target, we back you to deliver. Just like our clients do.

You may find this opportunity particularly interesting if you love projects but want an opportunity to be pushed.

About Source Projects

Source Projects is a proud part of HPX Group, where finding a better path is at the core of what we do. It’s woven into our ethos, our culture. We don’t just work alongside our clients; we immerse ourselves in their world, stand in the trenches with them, learn as they learn, grow as they grow. And the result? We create outstanding, long-lasting value – not just for our people and clients, but for the entire community.

We believe in a people-first culture, where our “people experience” (PX) drives the best client experience (CX). With a values-driven leadership model, we empower our people to grow personally and professionally while working toward a common purpose.

At Source Projects, we are like-minded, driven professionals, who are not just about doing the work – we are transforming how it’s done.

Specifically, what are we looking for?

We want to hear from people excited to join us as Contracts Manager or Commercial Manager in our Commercial team.

As that part of our team, there are a few key deliverables. You’ll collaborate with clients across a broad range of construction-focused matters as part of a team. You’ll:

  • Manage and support clients; be their trusted commercial advisor to deliver projects across the whole gamut of the project lifecycle, from bid phase to project delivery, project close out and claims support.
  • Provide clear, practical and strategic commercial advice to construction teams, businesses or asset owners, including as an extension of their internal team.
  • Compare, review and negotiate a wide variety of construction contracts and related agreements.
  • Contribute to the development of processes, systems and delivery models to allow our team and our clients to deliver more, better.

If you have read this far, and you are somewhat interested, well, we probably are not the team for you. However, if you’ve already started drafting your application and thought about how you ensure we see your entrepreneurial, technical and personal skills, then we want to hear from you.

You, your skills and experience

We want good humans.

Good humans are people that are interested, accountable, driven to make their world a better one and want to do it with others.

Where others see insurmountable obstacles, you see opportunity for growth. You know a better way exists, and you want to be part of the team that stretches to grab it.

You are all those things, and you have arrived at these core beliefs because you are open minded, technically brilliant, and have:

  • More than 5 years experience delivering projects as a contracts manager or senior contracts administrator.
  • Experience reviewing, advising and negotiating contracts – ideally including all sorts of forms of construction contracts, bespoke agreements and deeds.
  • Experience working with contractors, subcontractors, and principals (ideally including private sector clients and tier one contractors).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess complex contractual situations.
  • Excellent negotiation and communication skills, with experience engaging with senior executives, clients, and industry experts.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple projects simultaneously.

We know the person who will thrive in this role, is up to and has been searching for this challenge. This role, is for someone looking to be their best, do their best work and leave a legacy.

You are already excited, but what else does our team bring to the table?

  • Be part of a supportive and high-performing team, with exciting clients and high-quality work.
  • Flexible working arrangements to help you be a good human.
  • Competitive remuneration, including equity opportunities through our Group’s Equity plan and profit-sharing arrangements.
  • An extra week of leave as part of our employee personal development program – because we believe in investing in you.
  • A fun, collaborative environment with regular social events, training days, and team retreats. We take pride in our culture!
