Project Manager | Take on 2 new projects kicking off early **** | Brisbane
About the company
W Talent is partnering with a well-regarded, independently owned Queensland builder that delivers commercial, industrial, mixed-use, health, education and childcare projects across South East Queensland and Northern NSW. The business is led by an experienced director with a tier-two contracting background and has grown steadily on the strength of repeat clients.
The company delivers through design and construct, early contractor involvement and construct-only models. It brings consultants, subcontractors and suppliers in early so that buildability is designed in from the start rather than fixed on site.
The projects
Project Managers are being appointed to lead one of two Brisbane projects starting in early ****. You'll be matched to the project that best suits your experience:
Fortitude Valley commercial development (under $20M):
a modest value but technically demanding build in one of Brisbane's most sought-after precincts. It has a single-level basement, ground floor, two levels of office and a rooftop bar, on a tight inner-city site. It involves significant pre-construction work ahead of a January/February **** site start.
City fringe industrial development (approx. $50M):
a large-scale industrial project close to the CBD, with a February/March **** site start.
Pre-construction is a major part of the role on either project, and the workload starts well before the site opens.
The role
Lead your project from pre-construction through to completion and handover
Drive design development, buildability input, programming and procurement planning
Manage the head contract, client relationship and reporting throughout the project
