Our client is the benchmark in Victorian consultancy project management. Quietly delivering the projects others talk about, they don't seek attention - they earn respect. With a high-performance culture embedded in every facet of the business, they attract clients from every sector because of what they deliver: outcomes, excellence, and execution.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, no-excuses environment, where delivery matters and people back each other every step of the way - keep reading.

  • You take full accountability — for wins, lessons, and results
What you’ll do Project Delivery
  • Lead projects from feasibility to handover
  • Dive into delivery detail — from project admin to boardroom updates
  • Use your diverse sector experience to elevate project outcomes
  • Implement proven tools, processes and systems to enhance capability
Client Management
  • Build trusted relationships through outcomes, not promises
  • Deliver to contractual and commercial objectives
  • Represent project progress and success at Director level
  • Ensure clients link you and your team to their project’s success
Project Leadership
  • Mentor and guide PMs, Coordinators and Admin staff
  • Ensure project resourcing is aligned, efficient and proactive
  • Maintain team morale and engagement across the delivery cycle
  • Report regularly on team capacity and performance
Culture Champion
  • Lead by example in standards, work ethic and accountability
  • Uplift the performance of your team — no weak links

  • 3–5 years client-side PM consulting experience
  • Tertiary qualification in Construction, Project Management or related
  • Current driver’s licence and White Card
  • An unstoppable attitude: Can do. Must do. Will do.
What’s on offer
  • Genuine long-term progression - we hire for the next two roles, not just this one
  • High-performance culture, with the support to thrive
  • Exposure across a diverse and exciting portfolio
  • The chance to lead, grow and make a real impact
  • A no-nonsense, delivery-first environment where good people go further
