Description du poste

Peter Jacob Recruitment Pty Ltd – Newcastle NSW

An established project management consultancy with operations across Australia is continuing to strengthen its presence in Newcastle.

Working across a diverse range of property and construction projects, they partner with clients to manage the planning, development and delivery of projects across both the public and private sectors.

With a strong pipeline of work and plans to grow their local operations, they are looking for a capable and motivated Project Manager who wants to take ownership of their projects and play a key role in the business as it continues to expand.

About the role

This is an opportunity for an experienced client-side Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and getting things done.

Managing projects from the early planning stages through to completion, you will work closely with clients, consultants, contractors and other key stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered successfully.

You’ll be responsible for managing project programmes, budgets, procurement, consultant coordination and delivery, while proactively identifying risks and addressing issues before they impact project outcomes.

Importantly, we’re looking for someone who can think independently and take initiative. You’ll be comfortable working autonomously, researching solutions to challenges and making informed recommendations rather than relying on others for direction.

As the Newcastle business continues to grow, there will be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and contribute to its ongoing development.

• A proven ability to independently manage property and construction projects through various stages of delivery.
