Our client has built a strong reputation for quality construction, collaborative delivery and long-term client relationships. Their portfolio includes technically demanding new builds, refurbishments and live-environment projects where programme discipline, stakeholder management and thoughtful planning are essential. This role will see you take overall responsibility for project delivery-from pre-construction and procurement through construction, commissioning and handover. You will lead the site and commercial teams, maintain strong client and consultant relationships, and ensure each project is delivered safely, profitably and to the required standard. Candidates with experience delivering Victorian Government, education or VSBA projects, together with exposure to operational aged-care, health or community environments, will be particularly well aligned. The organisation offers a supportive senior leadership structure, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to lead significant projects without losing the accessibility and culture of a well-established Victorian business.

The role will see you:

• Take end-to-end accountability for project planning, delivery, commercial performance and client outcomes.
