Knowing Your Reasons for Change
When looking to change careers or move on in your career, knowing why you want to make that shift is crucial. It is important to pre-empt the concept of counteroffers and how you will manage this process. It is a hot market with a lot of promises so deep diving into the key aspects of the role and how this will impact your career journey is critical.

Benefits Offered by the Company
When looking at a new prospective career, look at what the business can offer you from outside remuneration only. It is important to open the conversation and look at the different ways your potential employer supports their employees and if perks such as wellness plans or reimbursements are included. Remember that your base salary is just one part of your compensation package.

The Team Behind the Company
When going through the interview process, meet the team and ask for names. Nothing affects office culture more than your co-workers. Speaking with your future team members prior to starting can shed some light on the group dynamics and managerial structures. Further into your role, consider all interactions and if they are timely and courteous; are these the people you would like to work with? Candidate due diligence is looking at your network and seeing if they have worked with or know someone with a mutual relationship.



Organisational Culture
Understanding the culture of the business and what it is like to stand out in the business should be heavily considered when looking at a company’s office culture. The ‘office culture’ and ‘vibe’ are intangible assets that can be tricky to decipher prior to starting. Asking questions about the office culture and aspects such as flexible hours or team-building events are beneficial. This could also be a good opportunity to gain insight into whether the employees at your new job enjoy working for the company and if they feel like their work is valued.

Passion for the Business
From the first interview, you get insight into the vision and goals of the company. Ask yourself- does the company vision excite you? Passion is a key driver and motivation tool for coming to work each day so if there is a unified vision that aligns with your own personal goals, you can determine whether the job is the right fit for you.

Growth and Educational Opportunities in the Company
Prior to starting at your new role, ask about advancement opportunities. Working for an organisation that supports and encourages personal growth is what you should aim for. Understand the structural dynamic of the company; is there potential to move up in the business? Or are there lateral movements that are more suitable? It is important to recognise that some employees are not looking to step up, they just want to add to their skill set.

Company Stability
A crucial tool for organisations is to allow opportunities for growth and financially support your employees. Conduct thorough research on your potential employer before making any official decision. Making observations on whether the company are in the media for the right reasons and deciphering whether the company have a track record of redundancies or cutbacks is critical. It can be an exciting process, but you must consider the e

During this episode, Shaun McCambridge, Stellar’s Managing Director, sits down with Rotem Rotenburg, Director of Cobild, to discuss the company and an exciting new role that has arisen.

The Cobild Story

Being a family-run business, hard-working attitudes have been installed into the business and the team since day one. Starting out in landscaping and fencing then moving on to small scale construction work, the business grew quickly and now completes quality, high-end homes and construction projects. From humble beginnings to a significantly scaled business, there is a continual drive and energy to succeed and look after each other.

Current Projects in the Pipeline

There are currently four key sectors for their scopes of work. Mansion style houses in affluent suburbs, high-end multi-residential and boutique apartments, mixed use retail and office apartments, and commercial office spaces. Partnering with clients is the journey, not the projects taken on.

Voted one of the Best Places to Work

Put simply, it’s the people. They are driven, motivated, and high performing. Wins are shared, challenges are worked on together and there is care, trust, and respect for one another. The values are based around relationships - “we say what we mean and we do what we say. Everything we do is a little bit different and that breeds success with our people.”

Not your Typical Builder

Everything is easy, nothing is too hard and solutions are found. Having a great rapport with everyone is not the typical way in the industry. Normal builders go one way, Cobild goes another - down to operations, how people are treated and the interaction with clients from start to finish.

Philosophies around customer retention and engagement

There is a specific demographic of clients who are young at heart, care, are energetic, and want to be taken along for the ride. There is ongoing touch with customers and communication that forms a big part of the customer dynamic. These values contribute to the 95%+ customer retention and referrals, this is something the business thrives on.





The Construction Manager - Key Aspects

To help with the direction of the business and the vision for success, someone will be brought in to help at an operational level, continue to drive client relations, support the team, accelerate current programs, and deliver on quality. This person will be part of high performing team, take pride in their work and be an exceptional team player. There is an opportunity for this person to embed themselves in a great culture.

Style of Person that will Fit Well in this Role and Business

Someone who has a lot of empathy, understands clients’ and teams’ needs who can give them support to excel, and can really define what success means to them and the business. They are driven, passionate, in it for the long haul, and what to have a positive impact on the already high performing culture that is Cobild. T
