Working at Flexem
We always (always) welcome great individuals to join us at Flexem. Our people come from all walks of life and educational backgrounds. Each one brings with them their own way to solving a client’s problem. We strive on fresh ideas and we love a challenge.
We are a happy bunch of young and ‘younger’ individuals and age at Flexem is not the definition of youth. If any of the roles below appeals to your inner calling, we are one form away!
Our project managers know how to delegate and plan ahead. Isn’t that what project managers do anyway? Yes. But not the Flexem Way. If you join us as a project manager we will help you hone in your skills to become the PM par excellence. We will teach you how to use your time in order to stay focused, under control and always with plenty of time to attend to the unforeseen and the unpredictable.
If you also explore the roles of the Project Coordinator and Cadet (normally working under your guidance) on the career page, you will also see what your role involves in addition to liaising & communicating with our clients on their projects.
Qualifications: A university degree as a minimum.
Knowledge (Required but can be acquired) Project Management & Construction.
Traits: You bring impeccable work ethics and curiosity, and we can teach you the rest.
The buck stops with our foremen.
Our foremen are the beginning and the end of each project. Our foremen are leaders with firm and uncompromising stance towards safety and the quality of their work.
As a ‘black belt’ foreman you are in charge to get things done. A Flexem Foreman gives no excuses and is forever resourceful.
You are not on the tools but you are ensuring all trades are working safely, to the program and according to our quality standards. However, you must have an extensive hands-on experience in either a trade or construction (e.g., carpentry, electrical, building).
Our project coordinators are 2 types:
- Those who are on their way to becoming project managers, and
- Those who are so good at coordinating, they choose to coordinate forever (they are highly sought after by our project managers and are commonly known as ‘The Magicians’).
A typical refurbishment or a fit-out project that you will coordinate includes:
- Understanding project scope and client’s needs
- Liaising with clients and trades
- Preparing tenders and quotes
- Issuing and managing contracts
- Programming and procurement
- Enjoying regional Australia if you are lucky enough to be on that team.
- Handover the site to a very happy client.
Qualifications: A university degree as a minimum.
Knowledge (Required but can be acquired): Project Management & Construction.
Traits: You bring impeccable work ethics and curiosity, and we can teach you the rest.
A Flexem Leading Hand is the 2nd in charge on site and assists the foreman in supervision and with hands-on works. For instance:
- Building ICP walls and ceilings
- Installing minor stainless steel metal works (e.g., angles, cuppings and bollards)
- Installing wall claddings- finish products
- Installing shelves and whiteboards.
- Disconnecting/connecting plumbing fixtures
- Installing other fixture and fittings
Our Leading Hand is expected to become proficient in the Flexem online WHSE system including trades inductions and daily sign in/out.
Strong experience with tools is a must, while a carpentry training and experience is preferable but not always necessary.
Do you want to learn about fit out and refurbishment in the retail industry? Are you a night owl who also loves traveling to regional areas in NSW and Canberra?
You will learn a great deal from our project managers, coordinators and our foremen. You can explore what you like most between project management and hands-on site works.
You will undertake more than 450 hours of site experience with one (or more) of our foremen during your first 3-4 months while learning project management skills (and tools) with one of our project managers.
