CGH Group, a national workforce solutions and recruitment organisation operating across Australia. We partner with organisations across government, infrastructure, professional services and industry to deliver specialist recruitment and talent solutions.
The Role:
This role sits within a nationally recognised firm that is continuing to strengthen its position in the South Australian market. The construction and infrastructure team has built strong momentum and is now consistently engaged on complex, high value matters across infrastructure, energy, civil and commercial developments.
This is not a passive role. You will be expected to take ownership of matters, operate closely with clients, and play a visible role within a growing practice.
You will gain exposure to the full project lifecycle, from front end procurement and contracting through to delivery, claims and disputes.
From a career point of view, this is one of those roles where progression is based on ability and contribution, not time served. You will have direct access to senior stakeholders, strong mentoring, and the chance to genuinely shape your next step.
What we are looking for:
