Procurement and preconstruction recruitment for home builders.
Purchasing officers, contract administrators and preconstruction staff who get a home ready to build.
- Permanent roles
- Residential builders
- Australia-wide
What the role involves.
Between a signed contract and a site start there is a lot of work: finalising selections and variations, lodging approvals, ordering materials, booking suppliers and checking that everything the build needs is in place.
Depending on the builder, that work sits with preconstruction coordinators, contract administrators, purchasing officers or schedulers. These roles keep homes moving and protect margin.
We find out where your preconstruction work sits and who it hands over to, then search for people who have done it in residential building.

Jobs sit between contract and site

Changes are agreed with the client but never make it to the paperwork.
