Job description

Are you ready to elevate your career and work with a team that defines excellence in the vertical world?

The RISE Group – encompassing RISE Pacific, RISE Equipment, and RISE Academy – isn't just a group of businesses; we're a team of specialists who thrive where others see limits. From complex rope access, rigging & rescue solutions, providing access to specialised at height equipment, or to training future experts, we operate at the pinnacle of our industry, setting the standard for premium service and unparalleled quality.

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced Rope Access and Rigging Project Manager to lead commercial estimation, client relationships, and project delivery oversight within RISE Pacific. Based at our Silverwater office (with site visits as required), this role bridges the gap between client engagement, commercial estimation, operational compliance, and site execution.

We are looking for an experienced leader coming from an industrial background—whether that's rigging, rope access, construction, height safety, or another trade. For us, hands‑on practical project exposure and industry grit are far more important than formal project management qualifications.

This role is for you if you thrive at:

• Leading Delivery Through Others: Stepping back from direct execution to equip the highly skilled technical Team Leaders and technicians to succeed on site.
• Experienced in a rope access and rigging: You want to bring utilise your hands on experience, skills and qualifications in a different way, by managing the projects and coordinating the technician delivery teams on site. You have some experience leading project teams, but are looking for more development and exposure to become an expert at it.
• Commercial Accuracy & Tendering: Diving into drawings and technical specs to build tight, accurate, and profitable quotes and proposals.
• Systems & Process Discipline: Using systems like SimPRO to keep projects organised, eliminating reliance on memory, informal comms, or last‑minute firefighting.
• Client & Commercial Leadership: Building strong relationships with existing accounts, managing scope variations cleanly, and identifying new business opportunities.
• High Standards & ISO Compliance: Championing safety, WHS, and ISO quality frameworks so work is always executed “the right way.”
