Senior Project Manager / Construction Manager (New-Build and Fitout/Refurb)
Commercial Construction
Melbourne
$230k +
Built a 52,000m2 Green Star-awarded mixed-use facility six weeks ahead of the program, uncovered a $1M+ variation through forensic planning, and saved a builder from contractual blowback with strategic scope management – this candidate knows how to turn pressure into performance.
With three decades in the game, this Project Manager has held leadership roles across both Tier 1 and Tier 3 contractors in New Zealand and in Australia. Currently overseeing a 20+ strong team (5 PMs, 5 CAs and multiple site staff), they balance delivery oversight, procurement strategy, contract negotiation and commercial risk management across multiple projects ranging from complex hospital and university refurbishments to high-end hospitality builds. Equally comfortable resolving latent defect risks as managing ECI and design novation processes. A former QS turned PM turned Construction Manager, this candidate knows where the dollars are made—and lost.
Down-to-earth and quietly confident, they lead with a steady hand and a sharp mind. They build loyal teams, speak fluent ‘builder’ and ‘client’, and still roll up their sleeves when a PM needs backup. Relocating with their family to Melbourne for lifestyle reasons, they’re ready to embed into a builder that values structure, ownership, and smart delivery. Now open to roles in Senior Project Management or Construction Management within Melbourne’s Tier 2 or Tier 3 commercial building space.
