Job Description

Senior PM - Construction Manager

n

Major Contractor | Major Projects | People Leadership | Senior Career Opportunity

n

There are plenty of senior HVAC construction roles in the market. This one offers something a little different.

n

My client is one of Australia's largest and most established HVAC contractors, with the project capability, internal resources and pipeline you would expect from a business operating at this level.

n

They are looking for an experienced HVAC construction professional who can take a senior role within their major projects business, with a strong focus on project delivery, people leadership and developing high-performing teams.

n

This opportunity could suit either:

n

n
- An experienced Major Projects Manager or Senior Project Manager ready to move quickly into Construction Management; or
n
- An existing Construction Manager looking for a larger, well-resourced business with significant project scale and long-term opportunity.
n

n

For the right Senior Project Manager, there is a clear and relatively quick pathway into Construction Management.

n

For an established Construction Manager, the attraction is the opportunity to lead people and projects within a major contractor offering robust internal support, major projects and an excellent forward workload.

n

The role

n

Depending on your experience, you will take responsibility for either major project delivery or broader construction leadership across multiple projects.

n

A significant part of the role will be people management — supporting, mentoring and developing Project Managers and site teams while ensuring the business continues to deliver consistently strong project outcomes.

n

Responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Leading major commercial HVAC construction projects
n
- Managing and developing Project Managers and site delivery teams
n
- Mentoring staff and helping build capability across the construction team
n
- Setting expectations,



providing direction and holding teams accountable
n
- Overseeing programme, commercial performance and project outcomes
n
- Supporting Project Managers with commercial and operational decision-making
n
- Building strong relationships with builders, consultants and key stakeholders
n
- Ensuring appropriate project resources are in place
n
- Maintaining high standards across safety, quality and delivery
n
- Working closely with senior management across the wider business
n

n

Why consider it?

n

The key attraction is the combination of scale, people leadership, career progression and long-term opportunity.

n

My client can offer:

n

n
- A clear pathway into Construction Management for a high-performing Senior PM
n
- A genuine leadership role for an existing Construction Manager
n
- The chance to lead, mentor and develop a strong project delivery team
n
- Major, high-profile HVAC construction projects
n
- Significant internal engineering, drafting and project support
n
- An experienced senior management team
n
- Strong long-term project security and forward workload
n
- Outstanding and negotiable salary package to attract the right person
n

n

About you

n

You will have strong experience delivering large commercial HVAC construction projects and be comfortable taking responsibility for complex projects, teams and client relationships.

n

Importantly, you will also be a strong people manager.

n

You will know how to get the best from Project Managers and site teams, provide support when required, set clear expectations and develop people rather than simply manage projects yourself.

n

You may already be operating as a Construction Manager, or you may be one of the stronger Senior Project Managers or Major Projects Managers in the market and ready to step into broader leadership.

n

Either way, this role is aimed at someone who wants to operate at the senior end of the HVAC construction market and have a genuine influence over both major project delivery and the people delivering those projects.
