Senior Client-Side Project Manager (Construction)

Four reasons to keep reading:

• End-to-end PM ownership of award-winning social infrastructure
• Retirement living developments, school campuses, and affordable housing up to $250 million.
• Boutique consultancy where directors are on every project and your work is never buried under a corporate layer.
• Twenty years of repeat clients- aged care operators, independent schools, affordable housing providers because the work is done properly, not just profitably.
• No BD!

Most PMs can tell you the value of their last project. Fewer can tell you who lived in it.

There's a particular kind of satisfaction that comes from delivering a project you'd be proud to show your family.

A residential aged care facility that won a UDIA award, a STEM building that transformed how students learn, an independent living village that gave retirees somewhere genuinely beautiful to call home.

The Company

This is a boutique project management consultancy that has worked almost exclusively with not-for-profit and community-sector clients for over 20 years.

Projects run end-to-end, from early design management and authority approvals through to handover. The directors sit on every job.

There are no layers between you and the people making decisions, and the clients tend to come back, which tells you something about how the work gets done.

The Team

You'll join a tight group of construction and design professionals. Architects, engineers, and PMs who chose this consultancy because the work means something.

The culture is collegiate without being soft. Directors are experienced and present, not distant. You'll have genuine autonomy on your projects and genuine support when you need it.

The expectation is that you can carry real responsibility without needing your hand held.

The Role

As Senior Project Manager you'll carry full lifecycle accountability across a concurrent portfolio of projects. That means design management, authority approvals, procurement strategy, head contract administration, superintendency, and handover.

You'll own your client relationships directly, reporting to boards, trustees, and CFOs who need clarity and confidence, and you'll manage external consultants and contractors across complex, often live occupied sites.

The role is more for someone who is focused on delivering projects over winning work as the client base is solid.

What You'll Need

Minium of eight years experience.

You'll come from a PM consultancy background with end-to-end project delivery experience.

Exposure to aged care, education, or community infrastructure is preferred but not essential, what matters more is that you understand how to manage complex stakeholder environments and deliver within constrained, often occupied settings.

An architectural, engineering, or construction background that has moved client-side will translate well. Superintendent experience is a genuine advantage.

If you've spent your career delivering commercial towers or residential apartments for private or government clients and haven't crossed into the social sector before, this probably isn't the role for you.
