Job description

Deliver Projects That Actually Make a Difference

• Canberra-based * Building & Civil Infrastructure
• Diverse projects throughout the ACT and NSW
• Salary to $195-165k depending on experience

The Opportunity

• If you're a 5-10+ year Project Manager who enjoys variety, autonomy and seeing projects through from an idea to a successful outcome, this is an opportunity worth considering.
• We're representing a highly regarded multidisciplinary engineering and project management consultancy seeking an experienced Project Manager to join its Canberra team.
• You'll manage an unusually diverse portfolio spanning housing, commercial developments, community facilities, land development, with projects located throughout ACT / NSW as well as regional and remote area.
• This isn't a role where you'll spend every day managing the same type of project.
• You'll be involved from the early planning stages, helping clients determine how projects should be delivered, then coordinating the consultants, contractors, approvals, procurement and construction required to make them happen.

What You'll Be Involved In

You'll take ownership of projects across their lifecycle, including:

• Project planning, programming and delivery
• Building and civil infrastructure projects
• Design and consultant coordination
• Procurement and tender processes
• Contract administration
• Budgets, programmes and project reporting
• Risk identification and management
• Contractor performance and construction progress
• Client and stakeholder management
• Site meetings and inspections
• Coordination of multidisciplinary project teams

Who Would Suit This Role?

• Your background could come from project management, engineering, construction management, architecture or a related discipline with experience and keen interest in land development projects.
• More importantly, you'll understand how to bring people together and keep projects moving.
• You'll be commercially aware, organised and comfortable dealing with clients, consultants, contractors and authorities. You'll also need the confidence to make decisions, manage competing priorities and solve problems when projects don't go exactly according to plan.
• Experience across the planning, design, procurement and construction stages would be particularly valuable. You'll also need a current Australian driver's licence and be comfortable with periodic travel outside ACT locations.

Why This Opportunity?

• There are plenty of Project Manager positions.
• There aren't as many that give you this breadth of responsibility and the opportunity to deliver projects that have a genuine impact on communities.
• You'll work alongside experienced professionals across engineering, design, project management and digital engineering, while continuing to broaden your own project delivery capability.

If you're looking for a Project Management role where no two projects are quite the same, and where you'll be trusted with genuine responsibility, this deserves a confidential conversation.

All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence. Note: Only Australian or New Zealand residents, or applicants with unrestricted Australian working rights, will be considered.
