We are seeking an experienced and motivated Project Manager to play a key role in shaping safe, functional, and future-ready spaces that support our people and the communities we serve.

In this pivotal position, you will lead a diverse portfolio of projects across property development, infrastructure works, and office relocations, taking ownership from inception to completion and ensuring delivery on time, within scope, and within budget.

• Coordinate planning, design, and construction activities, ensuring compliance with relevant standards and legislation.
• Plan and execute office relocations, including logistics, space planning, communication, and minimising business disruption.
• Drive stakeholder engagement by building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring alignment on goals, timelines, and deliverables.
• Implement effective governance and risk management by establishing governance forums, identify risks and issues, and develop strategies to mitigate them.
• Lead change management initiatives in managing the people, process, and service impacts of projects, ensuring smooth transitions with minimal disruption.
• Manage budgets and reporting, monitor project expenditure, provide accurate financial and progress reporting, and ensure cost-effective use of resources.

Requirements for success

• Certifications/Qualifications in project management, business management or related discipline, with a minimum of 3-5 years' experience in property development.
• Understanding of relevant legislative and planning frameworks
• Demonstrated proficiency in project management methodology
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify risks and issues and develop effective solutions.
• Flexibility to handle changing priorities and evolving project requirements.

Before starting work with us, you will need to undertake a national police history check, qualifications, and referee checks, and have a clearance to work with children/vulnerable people.
