This is a Brisbane-based remote role initially, with the view to transition into a hybrid Brisbane office-based role as the business continues to grow.
This role uniquely blends client-side project management, acting as the client’s representative, with hands-on project delivery, working closely with our QLD-based builder for projects in Brisbane to maintain operational efficiency and uphold exceptional construction standards.
This position offers room for growth, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the business expands. Initially, you'll need to dive in and get your hands dirty, managing every aspect of your projects to deliver excellence.

- Develop detailed scopes of work, budgets, and construction programs using Buildxact.
- Work closely with our licensed builder, who acts as the on-site manager, to oversee day-to-day site operations and ensure seamless communication and delivery.
- Coordinate architects, engineers, consultants, and trades to deliver projects efficiently and safely.
- Lead tenders, evaluate quotes, and manage contract documentation.
- Conduct site visits and occasional local client meetings to maintain visibility and strengthen relationships.
- Contribute to refining internal systems, processes, and supplier networks to support ongoing growth.
Skills & Qualifications:
- Qualification in Building and Construction Management (Diploma/Degree).
- 4+ years of experience in construction project management.
- Candidates must have specific experience in residential construction project management.
- In-depth knowledge of construction processes, materials, and legal requirements.

- A proactive mindset and the ability to present confidently to stakeholders.
- Australian work rights are mandatory for this position.
Why This Role
You’ll join a growing business with three active projects in Queensland and more in the pipeline. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who thrives on accountability, enjoys working directly with a licensed builder, and is ready to take ownership of both on-site and client-side project management responsibilities. You’ll also manage multiple client-side project management jobs remotely across Australia, ensuring seamless communication, clear oversight, and consistent delivery for clients regardless of location.
