National Retail Construction Manager (FMCG) - Drive Thru / Fuel

Are you ready to lead and deliver transformative projects for a fast-growing international food retail brand?

About the Role

n
- Oversee the installation and replacement of commercial cooking equipment, cabinetry, and retail displays.
n
- Manage tenders, procurement,



and governance frameworks to ensure quality, compliance, and cost-efficiency.
n
- Lead and support a team of state-based Project Managers across all phases of construction.
n
- Collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth and timely project execution.
n
- Ensure all projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to spec.
n

What We're Looking For

n
- Proven expertise in delivering retail construction projects, with a strong focus on drive-thru environments.
n
- Experience leading multi-site rollouts and large-scale upgrade programs.
n
- Skilled in managing procurement, tender processes, and governance protocols.
n
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and team leadership capabilities.
n
- A strategic mindset with strong commercial acumen.
n
- Willingness to travel interstate as required.
n
- Relevant qualifications in construction, design, or architecture are highly regarded.

Why Join?

You've join a future-focused business offering flexibility, autonomy, and a competitive salary + bonus. Be part of an international success story and shape the face of its Australian presence. This is a chance to bring bold ideas to life while working in a collaborative, high-performance team that values innovation and growth.
