Controlworks is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our Melbourne team.

If you've delivered complex mechanical, HVAC or building automation projects and enjoy taking ownership from planning through to handover, we'd like to hear from you.

You'll lead Controlworks' scope on major commercial, healthcare and data centre projects, working with a highly capable engineering team and some of Australia's leading builders and consultants.

About Controlworks

Controlworks delivers building automation and HVAC control solutions across healthcare, commercial buildings and data centres throughout Victoria.

We're known for our technical capability, reliable project delivery and the way we support our people.

We work hard, support each other and celebrate success together.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing Controlworks' automation and HVAC package on projects valued up to $30M+.

- Lead commissioning and project close-out.




- Build strong relationships with clients, consultants and contractors.
- Identify project risks early and implement practical solutions.
- Support and mentor Project Engineers where required.

About You

You'll bring:

- At least 3 years' Project Management experience within Building Automation, BMS, HVAC or Mechanical Services.
- Strong understanding of HVAC systems and building automation.
- Ability to read construction drawings and technical documentation.
- Knowledge of BMS platforms such as Niagara and communication protocols including BACnet and Modbus.
- Strong commercial awareness, including forecasting, margin management and cost control.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- A calm, organised approach with the ability to manage competing priorities.

It Would Be Great If You Also Have

- A qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Refrigeration or a related discipline.
- Experience working in live environments such as hospitals or data centres.
- Exposure to Niagara Framework or similar BMS platforms.

Why Join Controlworks?

- Competitive salary plus vehicle allowance.
- Work on some of Victoria's most interesting building automation projects.
- Long-term pipeline with established clients.
- Genuine career progression as the business continues to grow.
- Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
- A supportive leadership team that backs its people.
- A collaborative culture where your contribution is recognised.

If you're looking for a Project Management role where your technical knowledge and leadership make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
