Take ownership of projects that improve access, independence and everyday living

About the role

Reporting to the National Business Manager, you will manage new lift installation projects across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania.

You will manage projects from Sales handover through planning, site readiness, installation, commissioning, final handover and commercial close-out, supported by an experienced technical team and direct access to decision-makers.

This is a project leadership role, not a field people-management position. You will set project delivery priorities while working closely with the field team responsible for technician allocation.

Key responsibilities

- Manage multiple projects at different stages, maintaining clear programmes, priorities and delivery commitments.

- Confirm site readiness, construction interfaces and installation requirements with clients, builders and contractors.

- Coordinate suppliers, subcontractors, technicians and internal teams so everyone understands what is required and when.

- Manage supplier lead times, equipment availability and deliveries to keep projects moving.

- Monitor project costs, variations, delays and commercial outcomes, addressing issues early.

- Keep homeowners, builders and other stakeholders informed, setting explicit expectations throughout delivery.

- Ensure safety, quality, documentation, commissioning and handover requirements are met.

- Improve project systems, processes and delivery standards as the business grows.

About you

Lift experience preferred, but not essential.

We welcome experienced Project Managers from lifts and vertical transport, HVAC and mechanical services, electrical, fire, BMS, controls, specialist building services and other technical installation environments.

You will bring:





- Proven experience managing multiple projects through planning, installation, commissioning and handover.

- Strong capability in scheduling, risk management, cost control and managing variations.

- Practical understanding of site readiness, specialist equipment installations and relevant safety, quality and compliance requirements.

- Clear communication and the ability to build productive relationships with customers, builders, suppliers and delivery teams.

- A structured, proactive approach, with the judgement to identify problems early and drive practical solutions.

- Willingness to take responsibility, follow through on commitments and improve how work gets done.

- A valid driver licence, Australian work rights and a current White Card or the ability to obtain one.

A trade background or qualifications in engineering, construction management, project management or a related discipline will be highly regarded.
