Working with a global project and programme management consultancy, you will be embedded within the client team and act as a
senior representative on the ground
, providing oversight across the developer, head contractor and wider delivery team.
This is not a traditional coordination-focused Project Manager position.
You will be expected to understand what is happening on site, challenge programme and contractor performance, identify risks early and ensure the client has transparent visibility across delivery.
The role is offered on a FIFO/DIDO basis, with flexibility around where you are based for the right candidate.

You will provide senior oversight throughout construction and play a key role in protecting programme, quality and critical milestones.
Key responsibilities will include:
Representing the client throughout construction delivery
Providing oversight across the developer and head contractor
Leading regular site reviews and developer meetings
Monitoring programme, milestones and critical path
Identifying delays, blockers and delivery risks before they impact the client
Challenging contractor performance and driving accountability

Managing interfaces across GC, electrical and mechanical contractors
Monitoring MEP, services and commissioning activities
Ensuring works are inspection and milestone ready
Providing clear reporting around programme, risk,



actions and recovery strategies
Maintaining strong relationships across client, developer, contractor and consultant teams
About You

Ideally, you will bring:

data centre or mission-critical project experience

will also be considered where they can demonstrate strong technical and mission-critical project delivery experience.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional project coordination and represent the client on one of Queensland's significant emerging data centre developments.
You'll be joining a globally recognised consultancy with an established data centre capability and exposure to major projects across Australia and internationally.
If you have delivered major data centre, mission-critical or technically complex projects and are looking for an opportunity with genuine client-side influence, I'd be keen to have a confidential conversation.
