Exciting opportunity to work with one of Australia’s biggest builders on a major Defence project in South Australia.

About the Role

As Design Manager, you’ll oversee design delivery across the full lifecycle – from concept through to construction. You’ll coordinate building services, structural, and architectural inputs to make sure the project runs to scope, time, cost, and quality.

You’ll work closely with senior project leaders, clients, and consultants on one of the most significant Defence projects currently underway.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and coordinate design inputs across all disciplines.
• Drive the design program and deliverables against project milestones.
• Ensure quality, compliance, and constructibility of design outputs.
• Liaise with clients, consultants, and subcontractors to resolve design issues.
• Lead Safety in Design and value management processes.

What We’re Looking For

• Building services experience is essential – either consultancy or builder-side.
• Strong track record as a Design Manager on large, complex projects.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Australian Citizenship (essential for Defence Security Clearance).
• Ability to work with and lead multidisciplinary teams.

Why This Role?

Be part of a major Defence project with a tier-one builder, offering complex challenges, career progression, and the chance to shape design outcomes at the highest level.
