Job description

Loyalty Management Solutions – Newcastle NSW

Experienced Project Manager | Mid to Senior Level

Permanent Full-Time | Newcastle & Hunter Region

Big projects. Small team. Real influence.

Loyalty Management Solutions is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our Newcastle team.

We're looking for someone who thinks critically, takes ownership and gets things moving.

Someone who sees what's coming, asks the right questions and doesn't wait for someone else to solve the problem.

Someone clients trust.

Someone who does what they say they'll do.

And someone who wants to work alongside good people, on significant projects, where their contribution genuinely matters.

About Loyalty

Loyalty is a Newcastle-based client-side project management consultancy delivering significant construction and property projects across Newcastle and the Hunter.

We're a close-knit team working across a big portfolio.

That means you'll have direct access to experienced project leaders, genuine responsibility and the opportunity to influence outcomes – without the layers that often come with a larger organisation.

We're proud to be the 2025 Business Hunter Awards Winner – Employer of Choice (Less than 20 Employees).

We work hard, expectations are high and we care about delivering for our clients. We also believe good people do their best work when they're trusted, respected, supported and given opportunities to grow.

The opportunity

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager at mid-to-senior level.

You may be an established PM ready for greater project ownership, or you may already be operating at a senior level and looking for more autonomy and influence.

We're open to both.

What matters is your capability, judgement and approach to getting things done.

You’ll take responsibility across:

• Client-side project delivery
• Project planning, programming and reporting
• Cost, budget and forecast management
• Design and consultant management
• Risk and change management
• Procurement and tender processes
• Contract administration
• Client and stakeholder management
• Identifying issues early and driving practical solutions
• Building trusted relationships across project teams.

At the more senior level, this will extend to leading complex projects and project teams, strategic project advice, commercial negotiations, developing other team members and contributing to client and business opportunities.

What we’re looking for

Technical capability matters. How you think matters just as much.

We're looking for people with judgement, curiosity and a strong sense of ownership.

You’ll be someone who:

• Thinks critically and solves problems
• Takes ownership and follows through
• Makes sound decisions and drives action
• Identifies risk early and work out what needs to happen next
• Communicates confidently with clients, consultants and contractors
• Understands the commercial impacts of project decisions
• Challenges thinking and navigates difficult conversations professionally
• Works collaboratively and contributes to the team
• Asks questions when you don't know the answer
• Makes complex things simple
• Is willing to roll up their sleeves when something needs to get done.

You’ll bring relevant experience across construction, property, engineering, development or client-side project management.

A relevant tertiary qualification is highly regarded, including Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, Project Management, Property, Business, Commerce, or another relevant discipline.

But we’re not looking for one particular career pathway.

If you've built strong construction knowledge, technical capability, commercial judgement and project management experience through a different route, we'd still like to hear from you.

What’s it like to work at Loyalty?

Our culture is built around three things:

Teamwork – we work together and support each other to deliver.

100% Say-Do – if we say we’re going to do something, we do it.

Trust & Respect – we build strong relationships through expertise, integrity and mutual respect.

We’re serious about high performance, but we’re equally serious about developing and supporting good people.

You’ll have direct access to experienced project leaders, meaningful professional development and opportunities to broaden your capability across projects, clients and sectors.

You’ll be trusted to contribute, encouraged to challenge thinking and supported to keep growing and developing your career.

Why Loyalty?

This is an opportunity to work on significant projects without becoming a small part of a very large organisation.

You’ll know the people leading the business.

They’ll know you.

Your contribution will be visible and your ideas will matter.

• Permanent full-time.
• Competitive salary.
• Professional development.
• Paid Parental Leave.
• Additional benefits.
• Significant projects.
• A team recognised as an Employer of Choice.
