Abergeldie is an Australian-owned civil construction company with 30 years experience in the market. Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability has positioned us as an industry leader, delivering the complex infrastructure needed to build better communities.
We’re on an exciting growth journey. We have recently tripled the size of the company, and with $676M in turnover in FY25 and over $2.84B of work in hand, we expect to double our revenue to $1.2B by 2030. You will be an integral part of that journey.
We’ve recently welcomed a new Executive General Manager Pre-Contracts, Marshall Davert. Marshall brings extensive global experience in strategy, innovation, and business development. Under his leadership, we’re transforming how we pursue work and reshaping our Pre Contracts function. We are focusing on strengthening our systems, redefining how we operate, and building the strategic capability needed to scale with confidence and win in a competitive market.
How you’ll make an impact
This is a key leadership opportunity, reporting directly to Marshall, where you’ll help shape the future of our pre-contracts function and drive strategic change across how we pursue work. You’ll lead the submissions’ function and work closely with our leadership team to position Abergeldie for major pursuits, guiding us through a time of transformation and growth.
You’ll help shape how we approach strategic pursuits, from developing campaign plans and positioning strategies to creating scalable systems, templates and content libraries that give us the structure, speed and competitive advantage to succeed. There is strategy, delivery and plenty of opportunity to influence how we work, how we grow, and what comes next.
Flexible work, your way
This role can be based in Sydney or Brisbane, and we’re open to a range of flexible working arrangements. What matters most is the impact you can make on the continued success and growth of the company.
What you’ll bring to the team
- Extensive experience leading end-to-end submissions processes and high performing teams, from early positioning through to final delivery, with a proven ability to produce compelling, high-quality submissions that clearly articulate the organisation’s unique value proposition and translate strategy into winning submissions.
- Experience within the infrastructure or built environment sectors, supported by a background in marketing, communications, journalism or a related field.
- A strategic mindset and the ability to create scalable systems, tools and processes that embed best practice, drive consistency and enable continuous improvement.
- Strong writing and storytelling skills, with a knack for simplifying complex ideas and collaborating with subject matter experts to craft clear, persuasive proposals.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach. You’re not afraid to get in and do the work while building something better.
