The Company

With over 35 years as an undisputed industry powerhouse, our client is Australia’s premier national fit‑out and refurbishment specialist. Celebrated for their high-energy culture, relentless drive for perfection, and elite project execution, they dominate complex transformations across the commercial office, hotel, healthcare, education, retail, and defence sectors nationwide.

Experiencing tremendous momentum across the region, they are bolstering an already high-performing Brisbane division with a booming pipeline of active tenders and major landmark project wins in Brisbane alone. To fuel this expansion, they are seeking a highly accomplished, strategic Senior Project Manager who thrives in the fast-paced world of high-end interior transformations, brings proven leadership to complex deliveries, and is ready to forge a long-term career with an industry market leader.

The Role

• Proficient in industry-standard software, specifically Procore and Jobpac (or equivalent management platforms).


• A strong team player with a motivated, proactive attitude. You possess natural leadership ability, exceptional communication skills, and view project management as a key driver for building great client relationships and winning repeat business.


• A relevant trade background or a tertiary degree in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying, Engineering, or a related discipline.
