Project Manager - Premier Second Tier Contractor

Project Manager - Premier Second Tier Contractor

$260,000 - $300,000 + Super

• Take ownership of major, high-profile commercial projects
• Lead experienced, properly resourced project and site teams
• Privately owned Tier 2 builder with outstanding stability and reputation
• Genuine pathway into senior leadership

Great Project Managers don't just deliver projects. They build teams that deliver them.

This opportunity is for an accomplished Project Manager who enjoys leadership, takes genuine ownership and wants the people and resources around them to deliver exceptional projects properly.

You’ll join one of Australia's most respected privately owned commercial builders, with the scale and systems of a major contractor but a culture that remains heavily focused on its people, clients and long-term relationships.

The Company

For more than three decades, this business has built an exceptional reputation across the Australian construction industry.

They deliver major projects across commercial, workplace, education, health, hospitality, accommodation and refurbishment sectors, working with some of Australia's most recognised clients.

The business is privately owned, financially secure and built for the long term.

Their reputation has been created through quality delivery, strong client relationships and an experienced team that consistently performs. Repeat business forms an important part of their pipeline and projects are properly assessed and resourced before construction begins.

They've also maintained something that's increasingly difficult as construction businesses grow - a genuine people-first culture.

Senior management remains accessible, good people are trusted to perform and significant investment is made in developing the next generation of leaders.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of major commercial projects, leading experienced project and site teams within a business that gives its Project Managers the resources and autonomy to perform.

You’ll work with quality Site Managers, Contract Administrators and Project Engineers, backed by excellent systems and an experienced Construction Manager who remains accessible when required.

The emphasis is on leadership. Building a strong project team, developing client relationships, maintaining commercial performance and creating the environment required to deliver exceptional projects.

You’ll be trusted to lead your projects your way, with the support of a highly experienced management team and a business that understands what successful project delivery requires.

About You

We're looking for an accomplished construction professional who has already demonstrated their ability to lead significant commercial projects.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Degree qualification in Construction Management, Engineering or similar
• Proven delivery of commercial projects valued above $20M
• Strong commercial and contractual capability
• Outstanding leadership and communication skills
• Ability to develop strong client and consultant relationships
• Stable employment history with respected commercial builders
• Genuine interest in mentoring and developing project teams
• Reliable references

Technical capability is expected at this level.

What will separate the successful person is leadership.

You’ll know how to set standards, build accountability, develop people and create an environment where a project team wants to perform.

Why Make the Move?

Because the next stage of your career should be about more than simply delivering another project.

You’ll join a financially secure builder with an outstanding pipeline, sophisticated systems and some of the industry's most experienced construction professionals.

You’ll have the autonomy to lead your projects properly, the resources to deliver them and a management team that recognises strong performance.

There is also genuine opportunity beyond Project Management.

For the right person, continued success can lead to Senior Project Management, Project Director and Construction Management opportunities as your career develops.

Most importantly, you’ll join a business where successful projects and successful careers are built around the same thing - good people.

If you're an experienced Project Manager who wants to lead excellent teams, deliver quality projects and continue developing at one of Australia's most respected commercial builders, we’d welcome a confidential discussion.
