A rare opportunity has become available with an established Tier 2 Design & Construct head contractor delivering high-quality fit-out, refurbishment and construction projects across a diverse range of sectors throughout Sydney.

With more than 15 years in the market, a strong portfolio of repeat clients and an experienced team of approximately 40 people, this is a business with a genuine reputation for quality delivery, long-standing relationships and looking after its people.

They are now looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join the team. They would also consider a strong Project Manager who is ready to step up and take greater ownership.

This is not a highly layered or overly corporate environment. You’ll have autonomy, direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to take real ownership of your projects from pre-construction through to completion.

Why Join?

If you’re going to make a move at Senior Project Manager level, the business behind the role matters.

Join a business with the systems, project calibre and client base of a larger contractor, while still offering the autonomy and direct access to leadership that can get lost in bigger organisations.

- Join a genuinely integrated D&C; team, with design, pre-construction, project management and construction all sitting in-house
- Exposure to a broad mix of projects across workplace, commercial, industrial, government, medical, retail and hospitality sectors.
- Strong staff retention, with a number of team members having built 5, 7 and 9+ year careers within the business
- Work closely with an experienced leadership team rather than getting lost in layers of management
- Take genuine ownership of your projects from early involvement through to handover
- Join a business where quality and client relationships matter - not simply turning over volume
- Be surrounded by experienced people across design, estimating, construction and delivery
- North Sydney office and a collaborative, down-to-earth team environment





The Role

You’ll take responsibility for the successful delivery of a diverse range of commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects across Sydney, working closely with clients, consultants, subcontractors and internal design and pre-construction teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Managing projects from pre-construction and handover through to completion
- Taking ownership of programme, budget, quality and overall project performance
- Building robust relationships with clients, consultants and key stakeholders
- Managing subcontractor procurement, coordination and performance
- Working closely with the design and pre-construction teams to identify risks and resolve issues early
- Leading project teams and creating clear accountability across delivery
- Managing commercial outcomes, variations and project reporting
- Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard
- Maintaining strong client relationships throughout the project and beyond completion

About You

Ideally, you’ll already be working as a Senior Project Manager or experienced Project Manager within the Sydney commercial fit-out market.

You’ll bring:

- Strong commercial fit-out and refurbishment experience
- Experience delivering projects for a head contractor / D&C; business
- Proven ability to manage projects from pre-construction through to handover
- Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills
- Good commercial awareness and confidence managing project financials
- The ability to lead consultants, subcontractors and internal project teams
- A calm, solutions-focused approach when dealing with project challenges
- Strong communication skills and a genuine desire to build long-term client relationships

If you’re an experienced commercial fit-out Project Manager looking for a business where you can have real ownership, work with good people and build a long-term career, I’d love to hear from you.
