Project Material Pty Ltd is not your average environmental or infrastructure company. We are redefining erosion control through the integration of innovative technologies, patented deployment systems, and proprietary product lines such as our Rock Bag Filter Units. Our solutions are field-tested in some of the world’s most challenging and remote conditions, from Pacific Island nations to major dam and reservoir assets across Australia. Our work is bold, and often a world-first.

As a fast-growing company with a small, driven team, we are seeking a Project Manager to help shape the future of our operations and drive delivery excellence. This is not a conventional project role – it is an opportunity to embed yourself at the centre of a business creating real change and leaving a physical legacy across the globe.

The Role

We’re seeking an experienced and adaptive Project Manager with a demonstrated ability to lead complex, bespoke and often greenfield projects from design through to installation. The ideal candidate will bring both strategic foresight and practical expertise – someone who thrives under pressure, has seen a few battles, and knows how to shape a project environment where both delivery and safety are paramount.

Key responsibilities include:

Planning and executing national and international supply-and-install contracts for Rock Bag Filter Units and associated technologies.

Managing all phases of project lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure

Ensuring compliance with all relevant workplace safety, environmental, industrial relations, and local regulatory requirements

Developing site-specific SWMS, JSEAs, and installation methodologies tailored to each unique deployment.

Working closely with internal teams including design, logistics, procurement, and commercial to align delivery with client requirements

Managing subcontractors and site personnel in remote and logistically challenging locations

Conducting on-site inspections, risk assessments, and overseeing installation using our proprietary Autonomous Release Hook and sonar systems

Representing Project Material with professionalism in stakeholder meetings, site inspections, and client briefings

Reporting to executive management on project status, budgets, variations, and opportunities
