Job description

At Boral, we're the largest vertically integrated construction materials company in Australia. We're building something great, and we need an exceptional Project Director to lead one of the most significant capital projects in our history.

About the role

The Marulan Mine Infrastructure Upgrade is a circa $100 million project to replace our primary crusher, stacker reclaimer and associated systems, lifting output to 4 million tonnes a year. It's critical to the long-term future of our Berrima Cement and Marulan Lime businesses.

You will:

• Own end-to-end delivery of the new crushing plant and its auxiliary infrastructure, including conveying, screening, stockpile management, water/dust suppression, HV power and rail line realignment.


• Be the single point of accountability for scope, schedule, budget, quality and safety, from FEED through construction, commissioning and handover to operations.


• Build a project team from a standing start, recruiting and leading discipline leads across mechanical, electrical, civil and safety.


• Set the safety leadership tone for the project, with personal accountability for safety culture and performance.


• Manage interfaces with our live, operating mine, ensuring construction doesn't disrupt ongoing production.


• Report project status, risks and forecasts to executive sponsors, with regular visibility to the EGM, CEO, CFO and Board.


• Be based on site for the life of the project; a residential or weekly commute arrangement is expected.

What you'll bring

• $100 million-plus capital project delivery as a Project Director or equivalent senior role, with at least 15 years in major infrastructure or resources‑sector project delivery.


• Demonstrated experience delivering crushing, screening or comparable materials‑handling plant, ideally in quarry, mining, cement or bulk materials industries.


• Brownfields construction experience, delivering capital works within a live, production environment.


• A proven track record leading multidisciplinary teams on projects of comparable scale.


• Experience structuring and negotiating EPC or EPCM contracts valued at $50 million or more, including contractor performance and claims management.


• Strong project controls and financial management experience.


• Executive‑level stakeholder management, with the ability to influence at board and CEO level.


• A degree in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or Mining); postgraduate project management qualifications (PMP, MAIPM or equivalent) highly regarded.
