About the Role

We are seeking a Commercial Delivery Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of contracted works across Australia.

This is a pivotal role sitting at the intersection of commercial rigour and on-ground delivery. You will ensure projects are planned, mobilised, delivered and closed out in line with contractual obligations, client expectations and Greening Australia’s high standards for safety, quality and impact.

Working closely with regional operations teams, project managers, finance and commercial colleagues, you will bring clarity, structure and momentum to complex delivery environments — managing risk, tracking performance and keeping projects on course.

If you enjoy turning contracts into real-world outcomes, navigating complexity, and building trusted relationships with clients and delivery partners, this role offers meaningful scope and influence.

This role operates with a high degree of autonomy and commercial accountability; applicants are encouraged to review the Position Description carefully before applying.
