With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to 31 Ebenezer Place.

This office has been home to ROUSSOS for a chapter of our journey, and there are so many things we are going to miss about being here.

We’re not going far! Just a stone’s throw away, we’re making the move to 2 King William Street, Kent Town.

New space, new chapter, same team and the same hard work.

One of the most frustrating situations in recruitment is seeing a business miss out on someone who could have been an excellent fit, particularly when the opportunity itself was genuinely strong.

I recently experienced exactly that.

It reinforced something I've observed throughout my career: the way a business approaches its interview process can have just as much influence on the outcome as the role it's offering.

When you're engaging experienced professionals who are already performing well in their current positions, you can't assume that securing an interview means you've secured their interest.

Candidates are assessing the business just as carefully as the business is assessing them. They're paying attention to the people they meet, the conversations they have, how the process is managed and whether they can genuinely see themselves becoming part of the team.

In a competitive market, businesses need to be prepared to demonstrate why they're worth joining, not simply determine whether someone is worth hiring.

The strongest recruitment processes achieve both.

As we move through the final quarter of 2026, there are some interesting developments emerging across South Australia's construction, property, engineering and architecture industries.

What stands out to me is the contrast between the opportunities ahead and the challenges businesses are navigating to secure the people needed to deliver them.

We're seeing experienced professionals becoming increasingly selective about their next move, interstate markets influencing career decisions and continued competition for talent across commercial construction.

At the same time, the pipeline of projects ahead is creating opportunities for growth, but also raising important questions about workforce planning, salary expectations and the timing of future investment.

After more than two decades working across these industries, I've learnt that understanding market conditions is only part of the equation. The real value comes from recognising what those changes mean for your business or career and making informed decisions early.

In this month's market update, I'm sharing some of the trends we're seeing at ROUSSOS and what I believe businesses and professionals should be considering as we prepare for 2027.

Let’s talk salary. 💰

Do not leave the salary conversation until the end of the interview process.

Know your worth, do your research and get clear on expectations early. What you earn today does not necessarily reflect what you are worth in your next role.

A simple conversation upfront can save everyone time.

Site Managers, if you have spent the year delivering projects, managing trades and keeping everything moving, it might be time to think about what you want from your next move.

We are currently working with a number of Adelaide builders offering exciting opportunities for experienced Site Managers looking ahead to 2027.

Different projects. Growing businesses. Leadership teams that back their people. And the chance to take the next step in your career.

Because sometimes, it is not about changing what you do. It is about finding the right environment to do it in.

If you are curious about what else is out there, let us have a conversation. No pressure, just an honest chat about what your next move could look like.

Some leadership opportunities offer the chance to join a growing business. Others give you the opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping where that business goes next.

I'm excited to be partnering with Jaytex to appoint a newly created National Pre-Contracts Manager, a position that will sit within the Executive Leadership Group and have a significant influence across the business's operations in Adelaide, Darwin and Alice Springs.

What makes this appointment particularly interesting is the scope of responsibility and the level of involvement the successful candidate will have in the broader direction of the business.

From influencing project selection and pre-construction strategy to developing capability across the team, this is an opportunity to contribute at a genuinely strategic level.

There's also the potential to participate in the group's development investments and employee share scheme, creating an opportunity for the right individual to share in the success they help build.

For experienced estimating or pre-construction leaders who are ready to take on greater executive responsibility, I believe this is an opportunity well worth exploring.

You can learn more about the position here:

I'd welcome a confidential conversation with anyone interested in understanding more about Jaytex, the role and what this next stage of their career could look like.

There are some exciting businesses shaping the next chapter of South Australia's construction industry, and Jaytex is one I'm particularly looking forward to introducing to more people.

With Adelaide now its largest and fastest-growing operation, Jaytex has established a strong presence in the market and is continuing to build on that momentum with an impressive pipeline of work across government, commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments.

What interests me most, however, is the business they're building behind those projects.

As a privately owned contractor, Jaytex has maintained a leadership approach that values accessibility, collaboration and giving its people a genuine voice, while continuing to invest in the technical capability and systems needed to deliver increasingly complex projects.

Having spent more than two decades working with construction businesses at different stages of growth, I know how important these foundations become as an organisation evolves.

I'm excited to be working with Jaytex as they prepare for their next stage of growth, particularly as they look to strengthen their leadership team and bring experienced people into the business.

If you're interested in being part of Jaytex's next chapter, you can explore the current opportunity here:

I'd also welcome a confidential conversation if you'd like to learn more about the business, its culture and what a career with Jaytex could look like.

As a Board Member of the , I'm proud to support initiatives that encourage Australians to take charge of their health and wellbeing.

That's why I'm delighted to share that the Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation is the charity partner for the 9th Men's Health Awareness Ball, making its Adelaide debut on Friday 13 November at EOS by SkyCity.

This important event will raise awareness of men's health issues, encourage vital conversations, and support organisations working to improve health outcomes for Australian men, while also helping shine a spotlight on prevention, early detection and wellbeing.

The evening will feature guest speaker Rory Sloane, MC Hugo Toovey, live entertainment from Motel Music, premium dining, networking opportunities and fundraising for a cause that impacts so many families and communities.

I'd love to see strong support from the South Australian business community for this inaugural Adelaide event.

One of the biggest advantages you have early in your career is time to build the foundations that will shape where you can go later.

After more than 20 years working across construction, engineering and architecture, I’ve seen incredibly capable people build very different careers depending on the decisions they made in those formative years.

It can be tempting to measure progress by how quickly your title or salary changes, particularly in a market where opportunities are plentiful. But some of the most valuable career moves won’t necessarily look like the biggest step forward on paper.

The leader who invests in your development. The difficult project that stretches your capability. The opportunity to understand the commercial side of a business. The relationships you build long before you ever need them.

Those experiences compound over time.

If you’re five years into your career, there’s nothing wrong with being ambitious about where you want to go. Just make sure you’re investing as much energy into becoming ready for the opportunities ahead as you are into reaching them.

Receiving these beautiful flowers and such a thoughtful note was a very special reminder of why I still love what I do after more than 25 years in recruitment.

Finding the right fit has always meant much more to me than matching someone’s experience to a position description.

It’s about understanding the person behind the CV. What they’re looking for at this stage of their career, what motivates them, the environment they’ll thrive in and where they ultimately want their career to take them.

Sometimes that means working with someone across multiple stages of their career, staying connected as their priorities evolve and being there when the right opportunity comes along again.

That’s what made the words “continued support and guidance” in this beautiful note mean so much to me.

There’s an enormous amount of trust involved when someone asks you to help shape their next career move, and I never take that responsibility lightly. A successful placement is wonderful, but knowing someone genuinely feels they’ve found the right match is always the outcome that matters most.
