Our client is an established South Australian business with over 35 years’ experience delivering quality sheds and structural projects nationally. Under new ownership, with a growing pipeline, it seeks an experienced Project Manager to plan and deliver key projects.

Intensive farming is a key growth area, including sheds and infrastructure for commercial pig production.

The role suits a Project Manager familiar with delivery in agricultural, intensive livestock, food production, industrial or regional construction environments.

Piggery experience is relevant but not essential. Comparable experience in poultry, intensive livestock, agricultural infrastructure, food production, structural steel or industrial construction is equally welcome.

What you will be doing

Reporting to the General Manager, you will own projects from handover through planning, procurement, fabrication and construction to completion.

You will:

- Review project scope, drawings, specifications, contracts and delivery requirements.

- Develop practical programmes and manage milestones.

- Coordinate labour, subcontractors, suppliers, materials, plant, equipment and transport.

- Coordinate estimating, drafting, fabrication and site teams to maintain progress.

- Manage the structural steel fabrication–site construction interface.

- Deliver sheds and infrastructure for intensive farming and agriculture.

- Monitor project costs, budgets, commitments and forecast outcomes.

- Manage contracts, variations and scope changes.

- Identify and address programme, procurement, commercial and construction risks early.

- Coordinate site mobilisation, construction, installation, completion and handover.

- Maintain strong safety, quality and compliance standards.

- Update clients on progress, programme, variations and delivery issues.

- Build effective relationships with clients, consultants, engineers, suppliers and subcontractors.





- Maintain accurate records and reporting throughout delivery.

What you will bring:

You are a practical, hands-on Project Manager who understands construction delivery.

You will ideally bring:

- Experience managing agricultural, industrial, structural steel, commercial construction or infrastructure projects.

- Strong practical construction knowledge, from design and fabrication to site installation.

- Proven project planning, programming and scheduling capability.

- Experience coordinating employees, subcontractors, suppliers, plant, equipment and materials.

- Commercial awareness across budgets, cost control, contracts, variations and forecasting.

- Ability to interpret structural, architectural, civil and shop drawings.

- Experience managing risks before they affect programme, cost or quality.

- Sound knowledge of construction safety, quality and compliance.

- Robust client and stakeholder management skills.

- Ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities.

- A practical, solutions-focused approach and confidence to own and resolve issues.

- Strong communication, organisation and leadership skills.

Relevant backgrounds include piggeries, poultry, intensive livestock, agricultural sheds and infrastructure, food production or processing, feed or grain facilities, structural steel fabrication and erection, manufacturing and industrial construction.

Qualifications in Project Management, Construction Management, Building, Engineering or relevant trades and construction are well regarded.

This role offers genuine project ownership, not primarily administration.

You will lead delivery from handover to completion across customers, design, fabrication, procurement, contractors and site teams.

Experienced Project Managers from intensive farming, agriculture, structural steel, industrial construction or related sectors are encouraged to apply.
