Location - South Eastern suburbs, Melbourne
Salary - $180,000 - $190,000 incl car/car allowance + bonus ($40k - $50k paid to every Project Manager last year)

Whether you've run your own business or been the go to person at a smaller contractor, you've probably learned the same thing - when it's a small operation, everything lands on you

This role is about keeping that hands on control, minus carrying it all alone.

My client is a family-owned mechanical services business that's been part of Melbourne's commercial landscape for over 40 years - schools, aged care, hotels, manufacturing plants, you name it. They're growing, and they need someone who can run a project end-to-end without being told how.

You'll start on light commercial and fit-out projects -jobs where you can get runs on the board rapid, before stepping into bigger commercial projects as you settle in.

What's in it for you:

- Real autonomy. They're not interested in micromanaging someone who's already proven they can run a job without hand holding.
- A genuine path up. As they grow, so does the scope of what you're managing.
- Family culture,



four decades in the making. Not a corporate box-ticking exercise.
- Mentorship from people who've been doing this since before spreadsheets existed.

What you'll be doing:

- Running mechanical (HVAC) projects from handover through to completion, on light commercial and fit-out jobs to start
- Managing project budgets, programs and variations, and keeping them on track
- Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and site teams to hit deadlines
- Liaising directly with clients, builders and consultants as the main point of contact
- Reading and working from mechanical drawings and specifications
- Keeping on top of compliance, quality and safety on site
- Reporting on project progress and flagging risks before they become problems

This role is a good fit if you've worked in a small, hands on environment - whether that was your own business or a smaller contractor - and want the backing of an established company, without losing the autonomy you're used to.
