Senior Project Manager in North Sydney

A rare opportunity has become available with an established Tier 2 Design & Construct head contractor delivering high-quality fit-out, refurbishment and construction projects across a diverse range of sectors throughout Sydney. With more than 15 years in the market, a strong portfolio of repeat clients and an experienced team of approximately 40 people, this is a business with a genuine reputation for quality delivery, long-standing relationships and looking after its people.

They are now looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to join the team. They would also consider a strong Project Manager who is ready to step up and take greater ownership. This is not a highly layered or overly corporate environment. You’ll have autonomy, direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to take real ownership of your projects from pre-construction through to completion.

Why Join?

• Join a business with the systems, project calibre and client base of a larger contractor, while still offering the autonomy and direct access to leadership that can get lost in bigger organisations.
• Join a genuinely integrated D&C team, with design, pre-construction, project management and construction all sitting in-house.
• Exposure to a broad mix of projects across workplace, commercial, industrial, government, medical, retail and hospitality sectors.
• Strong staff retention, with a number of team members having built 5, 7 and 9+ year careers within the business.
• Work closely with an experienced leadership team rather than getting lost in layers of management.
• Take genuine ownership of your projects from early involvement through to handover.
• Join a business where quality and client relationships matter - not simply turning over volume.
• Be surrounded by experienced people across design, estimating, construction and delivery.
• North Sydney office and a collaborative, down-to-earth team environment.

The Role

You’ll take responsibility for the successful delivery of a diverse range of commercial fit-out and refurbishment projects across Sydney, working closely with clients, consultants, subcontractors and internal design and pre-construction teams. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing projects from pre-construction and handover through to completion.
• Taking ownership of programme, budget, quality and overall project performance.
• Building strong relationships with clients, consultants and key stakeholders.
• Managing subcontractor procurement, coordination and performance.
• Working closely with the design and pre-construction teams to identify risks and resolve issues early.
• Leading project teams and creating clear accountability across delivery.
• Managing commercial outcomes, variations and project reporting.
• Ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard.
• Maintaining strong client relationships throughout the project and beyond completion.

About You

Ideally, you’ll already be working as a Senior Project Manager or experienced Project Manager within the Sydney commercial fit-out market. You’ll bring:

• Strong commercial fit-out and refurbishment experience.
• Experience delivering projects for a head contractor / D&C business.
• Proven ability to manage projects from pre-construction through to handover.
• Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills.
• Good commercial awareness and confidence managing project financials.
• The ability to lead consultants, subcontractors and internal project teams.
• A calm, solutions-focused approach when dealing with project challenges.
• Strong communication skills and a genuine desire to build long-term client relationships.
