The company is an established Tier 3 commercial builder with a strong reputation across the Melbourne market.
Operating with a lean, hands‐on structure, the business has a strong pipeline of secured and upcoming projects and is now looking to strengthen the connection between its preconstruction and delivery teams.
The Role
This is not your typical Senior Project Manager position.
Rather than being allocated to one project, you will sit across the wider portfolio, working closely with the Construction Managers, Project Managers and Design Manager from ECI and preconstruction through to delivery.




You will remain hands‐on and close to project delivery while taking on greater operational responsibility across the business.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee project reviews, troubleshooting and delivery support across the portfolio
Support Project Managers across programme, procurement, commercial risk and project performance
Participate in ECI, tender reviews, buildability, methodology and value management
Lead structured handovers from Estimating / Preconstruction into project delivery
Mentor Project Managers while supporting the Construction Managers across broader operational requirements
The Ideal Candidate
Experienced Project Manager or Senior Project Manager from a head contractor
Solid Tier 3 project delivery experience
Well‐rounded exposure across programme, procurement, commercial and construction methodology
Exposure to ECI, tenders or preconstruction highly regarded
Ambitious to progress into broader construction leadership
What's On Offer
Broader exposure than a traditional single-project Senior Project Manager role
Remain hands‐on and close to project delivery
Exposure across both preconstruction and construction operations
Direct involvement with senior leadership and the wider project portfolio
Genuine pathway into a future Construction Manager or Preconstruction Manager role
