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.

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
