Careers

We are seeking an experienced Finance Administrator to join our team, supporting the Creek Connect program with invoice processing, subcontractor claims, purchase orders, vendor setup, financial reporting, and general project finance administration.

You’ll play a key role in keeping our financial operations accurate, timely, and compliant while working closely with project and commercial teams in a fast‑paced environment.

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. With the agility and personal connection of a Tier 2, yet the expertise of a Tier 1, and the enhanced resources of one of the largest, world-class construction companies, VINCI, our employees and clients get the best of three worlds.

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:

• Process subcontractor claims accurately and in line with legislative and program requirements
• Manage purchase orders, advanced subcontracts, and vendor setups within the Connect system
• Process and verify invoices, ensuring accuracy and correct approval levels
• Support month‑end processes, including preparation of accruals and financial reporting
• Respond to vendor queries and maintain up‑to‑date finance and procurement records
• Assist with audits and contribute to the rollout of financial and procurement procedures
• Prepare customer invoices and keep procurement registers current

About you:

• Tertiary qualifications in Financial Administration, Business Administration, Commerce, Accounting, or a related discipline
• Minimum 3 years’ experience - construction experience highly desirable
• Basic to intermediate Microsoft Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs and pivot tables
• Experience with SAP systems (advantageous)
• Able to prioritise work and meet multiple deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills

Company Benefits:

• Health & Wellbeing – discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, wellness discounts, fertility benefit and employee assistance program (EAP).

• 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.

Our commitment to an equitable construction industry extends to an inclusive culture that embraces our differences and gives everyone the opportunity to grow and be equally valued.
