Job description

SMP Manager - Structural, Mechanical & Piping

Don't just manage projects. Build the business.

Alfabs Group is looking for an SMP Manager who wants more than another construction management job.

We're an established ASX listed, Australian Engineering and Manufacturing group with the capability to design it, fabricate it, deliver it, install it and maintain it. Our customers operate in industries where performance matters. They need partners who can solve problems, mobilise quickly and deliver safely in demanding environments. That's where Alfabs comes in.

And we're not standing still.

We're growing our Structural, Mechanical & Piping (SMP) Projects and Services capability - and we're looking for the person who can take it to the next level.

This is your business to drive.

As SMP Manager, you'll take ownership of the safe, profitable and sustainable growth of Alfabs' SMP Projects and Services portfolio.

You won't be sitting on the sidelines administering projects someone else has won.

You’ll be in the market, with the clients and alongside the delivery teams - identifying opportunities, winning work, building capability and making sure we deliver what we promised.

You’ll lead the SMP operation across superintendents, project teams, controllers, administration and trades, while working closely with estimating, engineering, commercial and senior leadership.

Win the work. Build the team. Deliver it well. Make it profitable. Then do it again.

What you'll own

• You'll have genuine accountability for the performance and growth of the SMP business, including:
• Building strong relationships with clients and actively securing new SMP projects and services work
• Driving the growth of our site-based construction, brownfield and maintenance services
• Leading and developing our SMP Superintendents, Project Teams and trade workforce
• Taking ownership of the commercial performance and profitability of the SMP portfolio
• Working with our Estimating Team to assess opportunities, sharpen tenders and turn opportunities into executable work
• Balancing labour, resources and forward workload across multiple projects and clients
• Maintaining strong project governance across safety, cost, schedule, quality, risk and margin
• Identifying issues early and making decisions before they become expensive problems
• Building the systems, operating rhythm and capability required to support continued growth
• Creating a culture where people take ownership, perform and deliver for our customers
• Safety isn't a paragraph buried at the bottom of the position description. It is fundamental to how we operate.
• You'll champion that standard across every SMP project, site and team you lead.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone who understands both sides of the equation:

You'll likely bring:

• 10+ years' management experience across construction, engineering, SMP or major projects
• Experience as a Construction Manager, Site Manager, SMP Manager or similar senior delivery leader
