Job Description

n

At Unita, we build spaces where people love to work, shop, dine, learn, stay and play – delivering retail stores, hospitality venues, hotels, offices, gyms and wellness spaces, medical centres and education facilities across Australia.

n

n

But great spaces don’t build themselves. Great teams do.

n

n

People have always been at the heart of what we do. We’re big enough to deliver career-defining work across Australia, but small enough that your contribution is seen, your input is valued and the work you do matters.

n

n

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of some of our bigger, more complex fitout projects – the ones that need strong leadership, clear thinking and someone who knows how to get it done.

n

n

This is a key role in our Delivery team, owning projects end-to-end while guiding and lifting the capability of the team around you.

n

n

The role

n

As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll be the on-field captain – keeping projects on track, making sound decisions under pressure, and driving strong commercial and delivery outcomes.

n

n

You’ll bring structure, clarity and momentum to delivery, working closely with your delivery team (CA/PC, Site Manager) and key stakeholders to keep projects aligned and performing.

n

n

You’ll also play a key role in the overall client experience, making sure projects are run in a way that keeps clients informed, supported and confident throughout delivery.

n

n

What you’ll be responsible for

n

n
- Leading the delivery of complex or higher-value fitout projects from planning through to completion
n
- Managing programme, cost, quality and risk to ensure solid project outcomes
n




- Driving commercial performance, including forecasts, variations and cost control
n
- Providing day-to-day guidance to CAs, PCs and Site Managers
n
- Identifying and managing risks early, before they impact delivery
n
- Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and subcontractors
n
- Maintaining high standards across safety, quality, compliance and reporting
n

n

n

What great looks like

n

n
- Projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to a high standard
n
- Clients feel informed, supported and confident throughout delivery
n
- Projects are well planned, realistic and commercially disciplined
n
- Risks and issues are identified early and managed before they escalate
n
- Commercial performance is well understood and actively managed
n
- Delivery standards are consistent across documentation, compliance and reporting
n
- Challenges are worked through quickly, keeping projects moving and protecting margin
n
- Teams feel supported, clear and aligned across delivery
n
- Projects are achieving UROC (our operational excellence program) status
n

n

n

Who this role suits

n

This role suits a strong delivery leader who takes ownership of their projects and brings clarity to delivery. You’re confident in your judgement, commercially aware, and lead from the front.

n

n

You’re likely someone who is:

n

n




- Comfortable owning more complex projects and making sound calls under pressure
n
- Commercially aware and understands how decisions impact margin and risk
n
- Grounded and practical in how you lead and support your team
n
- Clear and professional in how you communicate with clients and stakeholders
n
- A strong problem solver who focuses on outcomes, not noise
n
- Naturally aligned to the Unita Way – you take responsibility, work well with others, and look for better ways of doing things
n

n

n

Experience we’re looking for

n

n
- Significant experience delivering $5m – $20m complex fitout projects end-to-end
n
- Demonstrated ability to lead project teams across delivery
n
- Strong understanding of commercial, contractual and delivery risk
n
- Ability to read and interpret drawings, specifications and contract documentation
n
- Trade and/or tertiary qualifications in Construction or Project Management (preferred)
n
- Driver’s licence (Mandatory)
n

n

n

What’s next

n

If this opportunity has your name written all over it, we’d love to hear from you.

n

Submit your application and tell us a little about why you’d be a outstanding addition to the team.

n

n

At Unita, every team member shapes our culture in their own unique way. We value different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, and we’re committed to creating a workplace where people feel safe, respected and able to do their best work. If this role excites you but you don’t tick every box, we still welcome your application.
