About the Role

Step into a live $40M, 8-level, 80-apartment project that is already in basement structure. You’ll take ownership of delivery through to practical completion at the end of 2027 and handover.

You’ll report to the Project Director and lead three direct reports across design, project coordination and contract administration. With most packages let, the job is controlling program, cost and quality through structure, facade, services and fit-out.

Why This Role

- Take over a live project and see it through to PC, rather than inherit a late-stage clean-up
- Report directly to an institutional client, with your cost reporting and forecasting in front of them each month
- Work in a Melbourne-based, director-led builder where the Project Director is closely involved in the job
- Lead a defined team of three, with the autonomy to run your project
- Work with a contemporary site tech stack: Procore, Cheops and HammerTech
- Build a track record on multi-storey residential for an institutional developer

Key Responsibilities

- Manage program and delivery from structure through facade, services, fit-out and PC
- Prepare monthly cost reports, forecasts and variation assessments for the client
- Manage subcontractors, site teams and consultants to program and budget
- Lead and develop the design, project coordination and contract administration team




- Run client reporting and stakeholder communication through to handover
- Maintain safety, quality and compliance standards on site

Skills & Experience

Essential:

- Extensive commercial construction experience, including time as a Project Manager on multi-storey apartments (6–16 levels, $30M+) on the head-contractor side
- Track record of holding program and cost through structure, facade, services and fit-out on a live job
- Proven monthly cost reporting and forecasting to a developer or institutional client
- Experience leading a team of coordinators and administrators, and running a job without a large Tier 1 support structure

Desirable:

- Tier 1 or Tier 2 residential background
- Experience with Procore, Cheops and HammerTech
