The Opportunity

Ready to step into a broader client-side role?

You’ll move beyond builder-side delivery to help shape a major, technically complex data-centre programme. With greater visibility across the project team, your work will influence programme, quality and stakeholder outcomes.

What's in it for you?

- Step into a newly created client-side project management role on major data-centre project.
- Broaden your experience beyond head contracting and gain exposure to client-side decision-making.
- Work across complex, high-specification construction with consultants, contractors and specialist trades.
- Learn from a newly appointed Head of Construction with strong data-centre experience.
- Build your career through a permanent role with genuine growth potential.
- Earn a package of $110,000-$150,000 depedent on depth of relevant experience

The Role

You’ll take ownership of construction delivery on behalf of the client, helping keep programme, quality and coordination aligned across the project team. Success will mean identifying issues early, maintaining progress and ensuring delivery remains consistent with project expectations.

Working closely with consultants, head contractors and specialist trades, you’ll represent the client on site and contribute to decisions that affect the wider programme. You’ll report to the Head of Construction and work with a professional team where communication, presentation and sound judgement matter.

This is a step up for someone moving from a senior contract administration, project coordination or site engineering position into a client-side project management role.

The Project and Pipeline





The role is connected to a major data-centre project in Melbourne's west. It involves technically demanding, high-specification new-build works, giving you exposure to complex coordination, multiple stakeholders and the standards required in critical infrastructure.

The programme offers the opportunity to build experience beyond a single package or workfront and develop a broader understanding of client-side delivery. Its scale and technical complexity should provide strong foundations for future progression in data-centre and other complex project environments.

The Business

You’ll join a client-side project management and advisory firm supporting complex construction delivery. The business is creating this role in response to a client requirement and is strengthening its construction leadership with a newly appointed Head of Construction.

For you, that means joining a professional team with direct exposure to senior construction leadership, meaningful project responsibility and potential to grow as the function develops.

What You'll Bring

- Around 4 -7+ years' experience gained with a head-contracting builder.
- New-build experience on data centres, hospitals or other complex and technically demanding projects.
- A background in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, construction or a closely related discipline.
- Experience as a Senior Contract Administrator, Project Coordinator, Site Engineer or Project Engineer ready to progress into client-side project management.
- The ability to coordinate effectively with consultants, head contractors and specialist trades.
- Strong communication, presentation and stakeholder-management skills.
- A polished, confident approach when representing the client.
- Sponsorship is provided to suited candidates who are currently in Melbourne, or due to land soon.

The Honest Bits

This is a hands-on role requiring site attendance four days each week, with one day in the Melbourne office. The workplace will be technically demanding and stakeholder-heavy, so it will suit someone who communicates clearly, stays composed under pressure and is comfortable taking ownership.
