Job description

Mid-level Client Side Project Manager (construction)

You'll step into a consultancy that has a busy pipeline of repeat work, which means you'll quickly take ownership of significant projects rather than sitting on the sidelines.

Current projects include bespoke new build and redevelopment of schools and early learning centres, commercial work within one of Sydney's most recognised office towers with key AREIT'S.

You'll be involved from early front-end advisory, master planning and feasibility stages all the way through to delivery and handover.

Because many of the clients are private and repeat clients, you'll spend less time navigating bureaucracy and trying to win work and more time progressing projects.

The Team

You’ll join a boutique national consultancy with realistic growth plans of the next few years.

The people who thrive here tend to be hard working, collaborative and low ego.

The environment is supportive, but it's also a place where ambitious people progress quickly.

The Role

You'll step into a consultancy that has a busy pipeline of repeat work, which means you'll quickly take ownership of significant projects rather than sitting on the sidelines.

Current projects include new build schools, redevelopments of schools, social housing, masterplanning and commercial work within one of Sydney's most recognised office towers.

Typical project sizes range from $10million up to $250million.

You'll be involved from early front-end advisory, master planning and feasibility stages all the way through to handover.

Because many of the clients are private or repeat clients, you'll spend less time navigating bureaucracy and more time actually progressing projects.

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 5+ years' experience
• Project management consultancy experience preferred.
• Built environment only, no I.T or infrastructure please!
• Experience delivering building projects ideally in education or commercial sectors.
• Strong communication skills and confidence managing stakeholders
• The ability to run projects independently while collaborating with a small team
• This role would suit someone currently working as a Project Manager approaching Senior level who is tired of working for a large corporate.

Why Join Them?

Work on projects that actually move forward

Most of their work comes from private and repeat clients, which means less bureaucracy and more ability to progress projects efficiently.

Exposure beyond just delivery

You won't just manage construction. You'll also be involved in feasibilities, master planning and early-stage strategy, giving you broader experience across the full project lifecycle.

Learn directly from experienced directors

The leadership team takes a hands-on approach to mentoring and has second to none training program, helping people develop into senior leaders rather than keeping them in narrow roles.

With over $2B worth of projects under management and more work coming in than the team can currently deliver, you'll have stability and a strong flow of interesting projects.

A growing business with real opportunity

The team is planning to grow by around 40% over the next few years, which means genuine career progression for people who want to step up.

A collaborative culture

This is a low-ego environment where people work hard, support each other and take pride in delivering great outcomes for clients.
