Senior Project Manager
Smith & Co
Posted 6 days ago
Location: Brisbane | Full-Time | Art, Design, Fabrication, Construction
Our client brings the world’s most ambitious public art and architectural visions to life — and they don’t do ordinary. With studios and foundries across the globe, their projects are bold, complex, high-stakes... and unforgettable.
Right now, they’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead large-scale, multidisciplinary projects from creative brief to final installation. If you know how to drive a program, lead a team, manage risk and bring a concept to life — all while keeping your cool and protecting the creative intent — this could be your next big move.
This isn’t about box-ticking project delivery. It’s about shaping the way work gets done — mentoring rising PMs, setting a high bar for collaboration and performance, and working at the intersection of design, engineering, and build.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading the delivery of major art, design, or construction programs — from pitch to handover
- Setting up clear delivery structures, planning frameworks, and safe systems of work
- Translating creative concepts into structured, buildable plans with timelines and budgets to match
- Driving cross-functional collaboration across creative, technical, commercial, and fabrication teams
- Managing clients, artists, suppliers, subcontractors, and exec stakeholders with confidence and tact
- Pre-empting risks, resolving challenges, and owning outcomes at every stage
- Uplifting team capability — mentoring other PMs and shaping a culture of continuous improvement
- Playing a hands-on role in developing and refining delivery tools, systems, and ways of working
What You Bring
- 8–10+ years delivering complex, large-scale construction, manufacturing, or design-based projects
- Proven success running multi-million dollar projects with multiple moving parts
- Experience leading teams and subcontractors across diverse disciplines
- Strong commercial acumen — including costing, forecasting, procurement and contract management
- Exceptional communication and negotiation skills — especially with senior clients and creatives
- A calm, confident leadership style that builds trust, alignment, and performance
- Experience with Lean or Agile delivery models is a bonus
Why You’ll Want This Role Because this is where creativity and construction collide — at scale.
Our client doesn’t just deliver projects. They shape public space, culture, and conversation. You’ll be part of a globally recognised team doing some of the most creatively and technically challenging work in the industry — with room to grow, lead, and leave your mark.
You’ll be supported by a culture that values balance, mentorship, and doing great work with good people. If you’re ready for a role that’s big, meaningful, and endlessly varied — this is it.
Sound like your kind of challenge?
