ABOUT THE COMPANY

This nationally recognised project management consultancy has built an outstanding reputation for delivering high-quality developments across the residential, mixed-use and retirement living sectors.

With a strong presence across Australia and an impressive pipeline of projects, they partner with leading private developers, retirement living providers and institutional clients to manage projects from early planning and design through construction to completion.

Known for their collaborative culture and commitment to developing talented project professionals, this is an excellent opportunity to join an established national business and learn from experienced Project Managers and Directors.

ABOUT THE ROLE

An exciting opportunity has become available for an Assistant Project Manager to join the Sydney team.

You’ll gain hands-on exposure across the full project lifecycle, including design management, consultant coordination, planning and approvals, procurement, construction delivery and project close-out.

For someone transitioning from another built-environment discipline, this is an opportunity to apply your existing technical and project experience while developing the broader commercial, stakeholder and delivery skills required to build a successful career in client-side project management.

• Support contract administration and construction-phase activities
• Develop strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

We’re open to candidates from a range of built-environment backgrounds. You may already be working within client-side project management, or you could be looking to make the transition from a related discipline.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• A degree in Project Management, Construction Management, Property, Architecture, Engineering or a related discipline
• Approximately 2-5 years’ experience within the property, construction or development industry
• Experience as an Assistant Project Manager or within Architecture, Engineering, Design Management, Construction or a related consultancy environment

CULTURE

This business has a strong track record of developing talented people into well-rounded Project Managers.

You’ll work closely with experienced industry professionals who will provide genuine mentorship and progressively increase your responsibilities as your experience develops.

Whether you’re already working as an Assistant Project Manager or looking to transition your existing Architecture, Engineering or Construction experience into client-side PM, you’ll be given the support and project exposure required to make that next step.

BENEFITS

• Join a respected national client-side project management consultancy
