We’re looking for a Project Manager to run projects from estimator handover through to close-out. You’ll be running Tier 2 commercial fitout joinery projects ranging from $50,000 to $600,000, managing an average of four to six live projects at a time. Projects include offices, schools and universities, small institutional work and hospitality fitouts. Site delivery is handled by our site manager, so this is a project ownership role rather than a site role.
Key responsibilities
Take projects over from estimating and agree a clear scope with the client
Run each project to deliver on budget, on time and to quality standards
Be the main point of contact for builders and clients
Guide the set-out team on construction methods, materials and detailing so projects are drawn right the first time
Work closely with set-out, production and site teams to keep projects moving
Manage procurement, suppliers and subcontractors
Identify variations and work with estimating to price them
Manage progress claims and close out projects cleanly
Set up and run projects in Innergy, our ERP system, and manage programs in our scheduling system
About you
Background in commercial joinery or cabinet making
Strong knowledge of joinery construction, materials and hardware, and the confidence to pass that on to our set-out team
A solid understanding of joinery installation methods, so what gets drawn and built actually goes in on site
Comfortable working inside an ERP; Innergy experience is a strong plus
Strong commercial sense and ability to manage a budget
Transparent, direct communication with builders, suppliers and internal teams
Organised enough to carry several projects without dropping detail
Right to work in Australia
Able to commute to Coburg North daily
