Job description

Ready to run restoration projects from the first site visit through to final close-out? A national restoration and facilities management business is looking for a hands‑on Project Manager to own jobs end-to-end, from scoping and quoting through to delivery, with a true 50/50 split between site and office.

Headquartered in Dandenong South, they respond 24/7 to fire, flood and mould damage and deliver building and property maintenance, backed by ISO‑certified systems, industry‑certified technicians and a full in‑house trades team.

• $95,000 - $120,000 + super (depending on experience)
• Fully maintained work vehicle, laptop, phone, and e‑tag provided
• Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm, with regular overtime available (job dependent)
• Genuine autonomy — own your projects from scoping through to completion
