Director / Owner at Aequalis Consulting | Empowering Businesses with Exceptional Talent
* Lead commercial outcomes on multi-year essential services contracts
* Drive performance, margin, and client relationships in a Tier 1 environment
* Brisbane-based role with impact, autonomy, and a high-performing team
We’re partnering with a leading Tier 1 contractor that plays a critical role in keeping Australia’s essential infrastructure running — from energy to transport, water to public assets. Right now, they’re on the hunt for a Commercial Manager to step into a business-critical role in their service delivery division.
This isn’t just another contracts job.
You’ll be the commercial right-hand to a delivery leader responsible for multi-year, multi-stream projects across high-profile client portfolios. These aren’t build-and-leave projects — they’re embedded partnerships with long-term obligations and performance expectations.
What you’ll be doing:
* Owning upstream client contract management — you’ll manage performance, protect margin, and keep everything above board.
* Driving commercial performance with a focus on identifying risks, resolving disputes early, and improving project profitability.
* Navigating a service-based environment that blends infrastructure smarts with the flexibility of FM, maintenance, and minor works delivery.
* Being a commercial mentor and internal linchpin — supporting delivery teams with contract clarity, claims strategy, and margin protection.
About you:
* You’ve cut your teeth in infrastructure, construction, or utilities — and know how to turn a head contract inside out.
* You bring serious upstream contract management capability — you know when to push, when to protect, and how to improve outcomes.
* You’ve worked across D&C, services, or long-term maintenance frameworks and love that ongoing client relationship dynamic.
* You enjoy coaching delivery teams on commercial acumen — you're proactive, solutions-focused, and commercially sharp.
Why this role?
* Be part of a respected business with long-standing client relationships and a strong pipeline of essential infrastructure work.
* Get a seat at the table — visible role, direct influence, and real commercial impact.
* A tight-knit, high-performing team who value getting things done, not just ticking boxes.
If you’re a Senior Contracts Administrator ready for your next commercial leadership move — or already operating at Commercial Manager level and want a new challenge — we’d love to hear from you.
