A progressive construction business, part of a larger diversified group, is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of commercial, community, and government projects. These will include capital works, upgrades, refurbishments, and facility/aftercare projects, often in live or occupied environments such as schools.
You’ll be joining a values-driven team that emphasises quality, safety, stakeholder engagement, and delivering outcomes that have real impact for communities. The organisation prides itself on strong internal systems, financial stability, and a collaborative culture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee procurement, subcontract management, variation control, and contractual or program changes
  • Supervise onsite delivery (if required) and ensure handover is completed with all required documentation, permits, warranties, and maintenance / aftercare plans
  • Resolve issues / escalations proactively to minimise delays or cost impacts

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of demonstrated experience managing commercial or government construction projects.
  • Strong financial acumen: experience with cost-planning, forecasting, budget control, and managing variations / claims
  • Solid knowledge of construction contracts, buildability issues, safety / OH&S legislation, relevant building codes and compliance requirements
  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication, negotiation, and leadership skills
  • Tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture or similar discipline preferred

What You’ll Get

  • Supportive culture with emphasis on innovation, care, and collaboration
  • Backing of a financially robust parent group with strong internal systems
  • Monday-to-Friday work pattern; minimal weekend work unless project demands require it
  • Real scope for professional growth and input into process improvement
