Project Manager | Manufacturing Relocation
We're partnering with a global manufacturing business currently going through a major operational transformation and facility relocation in Western Sydney.
This is not your standard office move. Far from it.
The business manufactures specialist equipment used within confectionery and food production and is currently relocating its manufacturing and warehouse operations from near Liverpool to a brand-new site in Smeaton Grange.
What the role involves
This role is all about delivering a large-scale manufacturing and operational relocation with minimal disruption to the business.
You'll step into a highly visible role where you'll coordinate stakeholders, suppliers, contractors, operational teams, timelines, risks, budgets, machinery transitions, and production continuity all while helping ensure the new facility becomes fully operational within project deadlines.
The business already has confirmed work booking into next year, so keeping downtime and operational disruption to an absolute minimum is critical.
You'll be the person steering the ship.
What you'll be doing
Taking ownership of the relocation project end-to-end
Managing the move from the current site near Liverpool to Smeaton Grange
Building and driving project plans, timelines and operational milestones
Coordinating suppliers, contractors and stakeholders
Supporting production continuity during the move
Ensuring the relocation is delivered safely, on time and on budget
Keeping teams aligned, accountable and moving forward
What they're looking for: This business needs someone practical, commercially minded and genuinely hands‐on. Someone who can confidently walk into a changing setting, build structure around complexity, and keep momentum moving without needing layers of direction.
Ideally, you'll bring experience across:
Industrial or operational relocation projects




Manufacturing or warehouse environments
Facilities/site transitions
Operationally complex projects
Commissioning projects
End-to-end project management
The type of person who'll do well here
Practical and solutions-focused
Calm under pressure
Highly organised
Strong communicator and stakeholder manager
Comfortable rolling their sleeves up
Not "precious" about jumping in where needed
Collaborative, accountable and proactive
Solid owner/operator mentality
Able to work autonomously and make decisions
Why this role is genuinely interesting
Genuine ownership and visibility across the business
High-impact transformation project
Complex operational relocation, not a standard office move
Collaborative workforce and long-standing team culture
Opportunity to help shape a critical operational transition
Flexibility & Project Expectations
There's initially a good level of flexibility around how this role is structured, including days, hours, and overall working arrangements. The business understands that the right person may be consulting, between projects, or balancing other commitments, so they're open-minded around what this looks like at the beginning.
That said, as the relocation project ramps up and key operational milestones approach, there may be periods where additional availability is required, including the occasional Saturday, particularly during critical transition, machinery movement, or production-related phases of the move.
They're ultimately looking for someone who understands the realities of operational project delivery and is happy to lean in when needed to help get the project over the line successfully.
Please note, having your own vehicle will likely be ideal for this role, with plenty of free onsite parking available.
We thank you for your interest, and rest assured your application will be reviewed by a human (us).
We can't wait to hear from you.
