Job description

Chandler Macleod is partnering with a well-established WA-based contractor delivering Non-Process Infrastructure (NPI) works across remote resources and energy projects. With a strong pipeline of camp / modular village installs, expansions and supporting infrastructure, we’re looking for an experienced Project Manager with Section 26 to take projects from early mobilisation through to execution on site.

This is a permanent opportunity with an immediate start available for the right person.

The Opportunity You’ll initially spend time based in Perth supporting pre-mobilisation and planning, then transition to site on a standard 2:1 roster to lead delivery.

Projects are typically in the $8M–$10M range and include accommodation villages, camp expansions and other NPI construction scopes across WA (and broader remote work as required).

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-end project delivery (planning, mobilisation, execution, close-out)
• Provide statutory supervision in line with WA WHS (Mines) obligations as required
• Lead site teams and subcontractors to achieve safety, schedule, quality and cost outcomes
• Drive a strong safety culture (pre-starts, JHAs/SWMS, permits, incident follow-up)
• Client and stakeholder engagement, reporting and progress updates
• Manage resourcing, productivity and performance across multiple work fronts

What We’re Looking For

• Proven Project Management experience delivering NPI / construction projects in remote environments
• Section 26 (S26) Statutory Supervisor (preferred)
• Strong preference for candidates with tier-one contractor-side delivery experience (camp/modular is highly regarded)
• Ability to work Perth-based pre-mob, then commit to 2:1 site roster
• Solid understanding of remote construction execution, subcontractor management and site systems

What’s On Offer

• Permanent role with long-term project pipeline
• 2:1 roster once mobilised
• Exposure to a strong portfolio of NPI/camp infrastructure works across major resource clients
• Competitive remuneration package (discussed with shortlisted candidates)
