Project Manager – Civil Structures (Dams & Bridgeworks) Location: Brisbane, QLD (Northside)

Own the outcome.

A well-established Queensland civil contractor is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of structures-focused projects across dams, bridgeworks and major concrete works.

We’re a self-performing business. We build our own work with our own crews, so you’ll manage real delivery, real people and real results, with the autonomy to make decisions and the backing of a company that values hands-on leadership. If you want more ownership than a Tier 1 gives you, this is the role.

The work
Our projects are structures-focused: concreting, dams, bridgeworks and related civil structures. This is not a roadworks role.

What you’ll be doing

- Taking full ownership of project delivery from award through to practical completion and handover
- Leading a project team of Senior Project Engineers, Project Engineers, site supervisors and self-perform crews
- Managing programme, cost, cashflow, margin and forecasting
- Administering contracts, variations, EOTs and claims
- Building strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, subcontractors and suppliers
- Driving safety leadership, quality outcomes and compliance on site
- Managing procurement and subcontract packages
- Identifying and resolving risks and issues before they affect programme or cost
- Contributing to tender input,



planning and continuous improvement

- Hands-on self-performing background, working with direct labour and your own plant and crews
- Experience with a Tier 2 or Tier 3 contractor (we’re not looking for Tier 1 or consulting-only backgrounds)
- Experience in civil structures, concrete, dams, bridgeworks, water or similar major works
- Strong commercial skills, with a track record of delivering on time and on budget
- Confident leader who can mentor engineers and command respect on site
- Sound knowledge of QA, safety systems and contract administration
- Relevant tertiary qualifications (civil engineering or construction management) preferred

Highly regarded

- Formwork, reinforcement and pour (FRP) experience (preferred, not essential for this role)
- Windfarm or renewable energy civil experience (a bonus, not a requirement)

What’s on offer

- A genuine leadership role with real autonomy and visibility
- A tight, self-performing business with a strong delivery culture
- Challenging, high-value structures projects
- Competitive package: $140,000 - $200,000 plus
