Take Ownership. Lead Projects. Deliver Results.

Etheredge Mintern is an established Melbourne civil construction contractor delivering infrastructure projects across local government, commercial and private sectors.

n

We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager - Civil Construction to join our team and take full ownership of a portfolio of civil construction projects from handover through to completion.

n

This is not a Project Coordinator role.

n

We are looking for someone who can be handed multiple projects, take responsibility for them, lead the delivery teams and ensure each project is delivered safely, on time and profitably.

n

You will work closely with the Director, Construction Manager, supervisors and our broader delivery team, while having the autonomy and authority to manage your projects effectively.

n

n
- Developing and maintaining construction programs
n
- Planning labour, plant, materials and subcontractor requirements

About You

n

We are looking for an experienced civil construction professional who understands that successful project management is about more than simply getting the work built.

n

You will ideally have:

n

n
- Significant experience managing civil construction projects
n
- Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
n
- Strong experience in local government and/or civil infrastructure projects
n
- A strong understanding of project financials, budgets, margins and forecasting
n
- Experience with progress claims, variations, EOTs and contract administration
n
- Strong programming and construction planning skills
n
- The ability to manage supervisors, subcontractors and construction crews
n
- Excellent client and stakeholder management skills
n
- Strong commercial awareness
n
- The confidence to make decisions and take ownership
n
- A practical understanding of civil construction methodology
n
- Robust organisational and communication skills
n
- A focus on delivering profitable outcomes, not simply completing projects
n

n

Experience across road reconstruction, drainage,



concrete works, car parks, streetscapes, pavements and general civil infrastructure would be highly regarded.

n

The Person We're Looking For

n

This role will suit someone who wants ownership and responsibility.

n

We don't want someone who needs to be constantly followed up or told what to do next.

n

We want someone who looks ahead, identifies problems early, communicates clearly and takes responsibility for the outcome of their projects.

n

You should be equally comfortable walking a site with a supervisor, discussing a variation with a client, reviewing a construction program and sitting down to analyse the financial performance of your projects.

n

Most importantly, you will treat the projects you manage as though they are your own business - understanding that safety, quality, client relationships, program and profitability all matter.

n

Why Join Etheredge Mintern?

n

This is an opportunity to join an established civil contractor where you can have a genuine influence on how projects are delivered.

n

You will work directly with senior management and be trusted to run your projects rather than being micromanaged.

n

For the right person, there is significant opportunity to grow with the business and take on greater responsibility as the company develops.

n

We offer:

n

n
- A senior role with genuine project ownership
n
- Direct access to company decision-makers
n
- Autonomy to manage and deliver your projects
n
- A varied portfolio of civil infrastructure projects
n
- A supportive and experienced construction team
n
- Competitive remuneration based on experience
n
- Vehicle and associated benefits to be discussed
n
- Genuine long-term career progression
