Our human centric awards include being rated Top 50 Places to Work in Australia, Employer of Choice Award, AFR Best Places to Work and the ABA100® Winner for Training Excellence. The brand has been named as the best multi modality gym in Australia and the best boutique gym brand in APAC, while being mentioned along the likes of Six Senses hotels and Equinox.

BRAND AMBITION.

At One Playground, we are committed to creating the best gyms, not just the most gyms. The spaces are unique; we invest in curated designs, with luxury finishes and experiential moments.

Our ambition is to create more than a gym. But rather to create an ecosystem of premium lifestyle brands that Inspire Change for our members and our staff.

We do this through changing the gym environment and experience through beautifully curated spaces, quality coaching, experiential classes, premium wellness and community connection. And as we look to the future, we will do this beyond the gym with the One Coach and Destination One (retreat) brands.

The right Project Manager will believe in this vision and take pride in the fact that the spaces you deliver are what our members walk into and feel it.





THE ROLE We’re looking for a Project Manager to join our in-house Projects Team and support the growth of One Playground through the delivery phase of our fitout projects. For the right candidate, you’ll be working on exciting high-end projects in landmark buildings and locations across Australia.

You will be client-side, shaping landmark, state-of-the-art spaces across Australia - from tendering and builder selection through to construction, claims and handover and defect close out.

It’s a role for someone who takes ownership, thrives on complex projects with a lot of moving parts, and brings more than technical skill, passion, purpose and people-first thinking.

You’ll get to see your work land in the real world rapid: walk into a space you tendered, built and handed over, live and full of members. If you want a career where you can point at a building and say "I made that happen," this is it.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

Lead and manage the tender process for fit-out and construction projects with builders and contractors

Manage the builder throughout construction and fit-out delivery, from mobilisation through to practical completion

Assess and administer progress claims, variations, extensions of time and claim structures in accordance with the head contract

Perform site visits to monitor progress, quality and WHS compliance across live projects

Own small fit-out and renovation projects end-to-end,



working alongside our in-house team and external consultants and subcontractors

Coordinate closely with our live gym teams to plan and sequence works with minimal disruption to trading and members

Maintain and update the project program across all sites

Assist with managing consultant teams, contractors and suppliers from concept through to construction and handover.

Manage defect identification and rectification through to sign-off.

Work with our in-house Portfolio Manager on landlord approvals and incentive draw downs.

Support lease and landlord-related requirements as they affect project design, program and cost

Liaise with landlords and their representatives on fit-out approvals and site access.

Finance & Cost Management.

Work within our finance system to manage project costings, purchase orders and approvals.

Partner with our Finance Manager on project budgets, cost reporting and approvals.

Track project expenditure and flag variances against budget and program.

Communication & Stakeholder Management.

Serve as the communication bridge between internal stakeholders, live gym teams and external vendors.

Schedule and run project meetings, tracking actions and follow-ups.

Prepare clear project updates and reports for the Head of Development and Executive Team.

Collaborate with all project stakeholders on design clarifications, RFIs, and approvals.

About you. To excel in this role:

You take ownership and thrive on complex, moving-parts projects rather than waiting to be told what’s next.

You’re comfortable holding a room of builders, consultants and live gym teams to the same standard and timeline
