• Coordinate with design, procurement, and construction teams.
• Report on progress, risks, and milestones to senior leadership and key stakeholders.
• Build strong client relationships and represent the business professionally.

About You

• Proven experience as a Project Manager in civil, structural, or tunnelling environments.
• Strong FRP experience is essential; familiarity with prefabricated reinforced steel systems is highly desirable.
• Background delivering Tier 1 or Tier 2 infrastructure projects.
• Demonstrated leadership capability in complex project environments.
• Strong commercial acumen and stakeholder management skills.
• Willingness to be Adelaide-based or work on a FIFO roster from interstate.
