For 15 years ASCOT GROUP has delivered specialised building services across aged care and retirement living, education, government and commercial environments. From live operational settings to large‑scale upgrades, ASCOT GROUP operates where precision, planning and partnership matter.

We were built on a simple but powerful idea: make a difference. Not just in the physical spaces we create, but in how we work alongside clients, consultants, contractors and communities. Across the nation, our people are creating exceptional spaces through expertise, care and genuine partnership.

The experience is the difference and it shows in everything we do.

This Is More Than a PM Role

At ASCOT GROUP, a Project Manager is not just a scheduler of works.

You are the custodian of the outcome.
The integrator of scope, program, cost, quality and people.
The leader who protects both margin and customer experience.
You run your project like a business.

From pre‑start to completion, you are accountable for safe, profitable and high‑quality delivery while building trust with clients and strengthening the performance of your team.

What You’ll Drive

Delivery in line with agreed scope, program and budget
Strong forward planning, proactive, not reactive
Commercial discipline, cost control and margin protection
Confident management of variations, EOTs and contractual claims
Subcontractor performance and site coordination
Clear, professional client communication

What We’re Looking For

Strong program development and budget ownership capability.
Commercial confidence you understand contracts, risk and margin.
A leader who is calm under pressure, visible and clear in communication.
Someone who anticipates issues early and takes accountability beyond their own project when required.

Why This Role Matters

ASCOT GROUP continues to grow through strong planning, disciplined delivery and trusted client relationships. Our teams are aligned.

Our clients value the certainty we bring. The Project Manager is the integrator, the person who keeps everything aligned so delivery is predictable and professional.

When this role works well:

Projects land on time and within budget
Margins are protected
Clients return

What You Get

A permanent leadership role within a stable, growing organisation.
Meaningful, sector‑diverse projects.
Strong commercial and operational support.

We work Monday to Friday and value performance, we understand flexibility looks different for everyone. Let’s explore what working well looks like for you.

The Experience is the Difference.

If you’re ready to own projects end‑to‑end and lead with intent. We’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

This role gives you responsibility for the end‑to‑end delivery of construction projects across the government and community sector, typically ranging from $5M to $20M. Rather than a single fixed project, you’ll be stepping into an ongoing pipeline of work spanning education, health, sporting and community facilities, with the autonomy to shape delivery from planning through to handover.

You will report into senior leadership within an established business, working alongside experienced site and commercial teams rather than building a function from scratch. The projects vary in scope and sector, which keeps the work genuinely varied without the volatility of chasing new work in a less stable market segment.

Key Responsibilities

Take ownership of project delivery from award through to practical completion and handover
Manage program, budget and quality outcomes across one or more concurrent projects
Lead and coordinate site teams, subcontractors and consultants to keep delivery on track
Build and maintain relationships with government and institutional clients throughout the project lifecycle
Identify and manage commercial and programme risk, escalating issues before they affect delivery
Work closely with contracts administration and site management to align commercial and construction outcomes

Essential Requirements

Proven experience as a Project Manager delivering projects in the $5M to $20M range, ideally within government, education, health or community sectors
Background with a Tier 2/3 or regional commercial builder, with genuine end‑to‑end project accountability
Strong commercial and contractual understanding, including standard form construction contracts
Career stability and a clean record for medical checks, a Working With Children Check and, where required, a police check

Desirable Extras

Experience delivering projects for government or institutional clients specifically
Familiarity with Procore, Aconex, HammerTech, JobPac or MS Project
A background that spans multiple project types or sectors rather than a single niche

What's on Offer

$170,000 to $190,000 plus superannuation
A steady pipeline of government and community-backed work, offering longer‑term certainty than much of the private commercial market
Genuine autonomy over project delivery, with the support of an experienced site and commercial team around you
A stable, established employer with a track record in this space and room to grow into larger or more complex work over time
