Senior Project Manager - Urban Civil | SE QLD Senior Project Manager - Urban Civil | SE QLD

The Opportunity

LH Partners is working confidentially with a well-established civil contractor looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager into a key leadership position across its urban development business. This is broader than a traditional project-by-project PM role. You'll take responsibility for an area and portfolio of urban development projects, providing leadership across multiple delivery teams and ensuring projects are performing commercially, operationally and safely. With projects across Gold Coast, Northern NSW and North Brisbane, we're looking for someone who knows the QLD or NSW urban development market and has the experience to operate with a high level of autonomy.

The Role Working closely with senior operational leadership, you'll have oversight of multiple urban development projects and their respective delivery teams. Your responsibilities will include:

Taking ownership of an area and portfolio of urban development projects

Leading Project Managers, Project Engineers and site teams

Maintaining oversight of project delivery, budgets, forecasting and commercial performance

Monitoring programs and proactively addressing delivery risks

Ensuring consistency across safety, quality and environmental performance

Managing key client, consultant and stakeholder relationships

Supporting teams through complex project and commercial issues





Reviewing project performance and identifying opportunities for improvement

Developing and mentoring project leadership teams

Working with senior management on resourcing, planning and future project delivery

About You This is a senior operational position, so we're looking for someone with genuine urban development experience in Queensland or NSW.

Proven Senior Project Manager experience within civil construction

Strong background in urban development, subdivisions and land development

QLD and/or NSW urban civil experience

Experience overseeing multiple projects rather than a single major project

Solid knowledge of earthworks, roads, drainage and underground services

Demonstrated leadership of project and site-based teams

Strong commercial understanding across budgets, forecasting, contracts and project performance

Confidence managing clients and senior stakeholders

Ability to operate autonomously and take ownership of an area

A practical, delivery-focused leadership style

The Opportunity Ahead This will suit someone who has built a strong foundation as a Senior Project Manager but wants broader operational responsibility. Rather than simply moving from one project to another, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership across an area, develop project teams and influence how multiple projects perform. The business has an established presence across the east coast and a strong pipeline of urban development work throughout SE QLD and Northern NSW.
