Seymour Whyte is looking for a highly experienced Project Commercial Manager to play a key role on the Creek Connect project. This position is responsible for overseeing contractual change across the program, ensuring commercial risks are identified early and managed effectively to protect project outcomes.

CreekConnect – Supporting Western Sydney’s Growth!

Be part of a large-scale, long-term joint venture between Seymour Whyte and Jacobs, awarded by Sydney Water as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) project. As the region expands, so does the need for sustainable and resilient water solutions. The Upper South Creek Network will feature new wastewater pumping stations and gravity carriers, with the first work stage beginning before the year's end. The project also emphasises safety, digital engineering, and compliance with the latest standards, ensuring it meets future needs effectively.

About Seymour Whyte:

We are a successful civil contracting business that has been operating in Australia for over 35 years.

As a progressive, leading civil engineering firm built on the strong foundations of our unique history, we engage, enable and empower our people to be better. With you, we are altogether stronger, in building the future we want. 

About the Role:

• Lead and coordinate NEC4 Early Warnings and Compensation Events across the program

• Prepare and review contractual notices and change submissions to the Client

About you:

• Financial wellbeing – competitive remuneration, annual performance bonuses, salary continuance insurance and employee share program
• Career development – training, mentoring programs, and leadership development program

Many of our projects are not accessible via public transport and require travel between and within active construction sites. As a result, a current Driver’s Licence and the ability to drive on site are essential.
