Project Manager – Construction (PDS & Defence Focus)
Full-time | Permanent
We’re working with a dynamic construction team in the early stages of building out their project delivery function. As they expand, there is an immediate opportunity for a Project Manager or strong Junior PM to take on a key role in being client facing & delivering complex, high-value projects—particularly within the Commonwealth-funded infrastructure (CFI) space.

About the Role:
This role is ideally suited to someone with experience in Project Delivery Services (PDS) and tendering, combined with a hands-on understanding of delivering CFI projects—such as those under the Defence or Infrastructure Programs.
You'll work directly with clients from day one, manage tenders, and play a key role in the successful award and execution of major projects. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a greenfield team build, where your experience will directly shape delivery outcomes and internal capability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate & support tender preparation and submission, especially within PDS frameworks.
• Manage client-facing interactions throughout the bid and project lifecycle.
• Deliver on PDS roles post-award—setting up, running, and delivering project stages.
• Bring firsthand experience and insight from at least one CFI project, understanding compliance, stakeholder management, and reporting requirements.
• Use your project experience as a strategic advantage in defence and public sector tenders—particularly for projects valued between $25-50M.
• Contribute to internal systems and knowledge as the team scales up delivery across a growing pipeline of PDS and government-related projects.

About You:

• 3–7 years’ experience in the construction industry, with exposure to both tendering and project delivery.
• Proven track record of involvement in at least one Commonwealth-funded infrastructure (CFI) project—such as Defence, Infrastructure, or similar.
• Experience managing or contributing to PDS roles through planning, procurement, and delivery phases.
• Familiarity with government tendering processes, probity, and compliance frameworks.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and working closely with both clients and consultants.

Why This Role?

• Be part of a foundational team build, shaping delivery culture and capability from the ground up.
• Work on complex, high-value public sector projects, with a growing pipeline in place.
• Gain direct exposure to strategic tendering and delivery within a growth-focused environment.
