We’re the team behind The Sporting Globe, TGI Fridays and Varsity, with 50+ locations nationwide (and growing fast). Every venue, every concept and every detail reflects our passion for hospitality and the people who experience it.

As we continue to go far and go together, we’re seeking a Project Manager to lead the delivery of new venues, refurbishments and capital works across all our brands.

• Drive quality and safety on site through regular inspections, documentation reviews and close contractor management
• Partner with Property, Design, Operations, Marketing and Finance, as well as landlords, consultants and contractors, to deliver cohesive projects
• Oversee planned and preventative maintenance across our venues, and manage our Southbank Support Office building

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of project management experience in hospitality, retail, commercial fit-out or construction.

• Strong knowledge of planning and building approvals, the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards.
• Experience managing tenders, contracts, variations and project budgets.
• The ability to read architectural, structural and services drawings, with working knowledge of AutoCAD/Revit, MS Project and Microsoft Office.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work independently, lead cross-functional teams and present to senior management.
• A current driver’s licence

Why join us?

• Personal development plans and genuine opportunities to grow your career with us
• A central role in our ambitious national growth plans across existing brands and new concepts
