support Contracts Administrators overload

with work.

CONSTRUCTION – WA ESTIMATORS, PM’S & SITE MANAGERS

You’re in demand.

In Western Australia Estimators are in greatest

demand from both principle builders and sub-

contractors. It is important Estimators know

the local market well, so overseas candidates

are not being considered at this point.

Project Managers are needed too for high-rise

residential projects. Employers are also

looking for Site Managers with high-rise

experience.

Contract Administrators and Contracts

Managers are also in demand in WA.

where builders look for good candidates who

can help them become more competitive and

win work.

Civil Construction Managers are in demand to

work on large infrastructure projects that are

underway and coming up.

Senior Project Directors with health

experience are needed too as builders are

keen to win large health projects.

Contract Administrators to support these

experience key hiring priorities.

PROPERTYRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MANAGERS

You’re in demand.

Residential Property Managers are needed

for the high number of investment properties

coming online. We are seeing a shortage of

experienced, qualified candidates.

Employers are willing to sponsor Residential

Property Managers from overseas as long as

they possess experience in similar jurisdictions.

In many locations, the demand for Property

Managers outnumbers the supply of

experienced candidates.

PROPERTYEXPERIENCED VALUERS & RESIDENTIAL VALUERS

You’re in demand.

Experienced Valuers are also in demand to fill

roles in commercial, industrial and health

care.

We are also seeing roles for Residential

Valuers.

We are also seeing opportunities opening up

across project management, tenant

representative services, corporate services

and leasing.

PROPERTYBODY CORPORATE MANAGERS

You’re in demand.

Body Corporate Managers are another area of

high demand but short supply. A higher volume

of development activity due to low interest

rates is driving demand.

In South Australia state government focus on

higher density development and community title

plus stricter strata laws are adding to demand,

since historically Torrens Titles dominated the

sector.
