We are looking for someone with:
Strong Civil or Infrastructure Project Management experience
Recent Queensland Civil Project Management experience
Proven experience within mining, heavy industry or major infrastructure environments
A solid background in either Front End Loading or execution and construction management, ideally with exposure across both

What We Need
This is not a direct leadership position managing a large internal team.




It is a team based Project Management role where you will be accountable for project outcomes, contractor performance and delivery across your assigned portfolio.

The right person will be commercially aware, strong on cost and scope control, confident managing construction delivery and able to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
Team fit is important. We are looking for someone with good energy, a positive attitude and an open, engaging communication style who can build trust quickly and work effectively within an established site team.
