Overview
Tired of the \"firefighting\" on-site but love the complexity of a major build? This is your chance to transition from the general contractor environment to the Developer/Owner side.
We are representing a global leader in Hyperscale Data Centres as they accelerate their multi-billion dollar Sydney campus footprint. While many developers focus on generic industrial assets, our client is building the AI-ready, high-density infrastructure of the future.
Following the success of their Melbourne team, built on a foundation of boots on the ground delivery experts, they are looking for a Project Manager (or a high-performing Senior Project Engineer ready for the step-up) to lead a significant Sydney workstream.
You will move beyond subcontract management and take the lead on:
- End-to-End Delivery: Overseeing the construction of $500m+ hyperscale assets from shell/core to complex MEP fit-out.
- Technical Innovation: Implementing next-gen infrastructure, including liquid cooling and high-density power deployments.
- Commercial Leadership: Managing Tier 1 builder contracts, risk mitigation, and project milestones from the owner's perspective.
- Stakeholder Management: Acting as the primary point of contact for world-leading cloud providers (Hyperscalers).
This company values the \"builder pedigree.\" They are looking for someone who has cut their teeth at a Tier 1 or Tier 2 GC and understands the pressure of a live site delivery.
Qualifications
Requirements
- Proven experience at a major builder (e.g., Built., FDC, Multiplex, or similar).
- Exposure to complex, MEP-heavy projects (Data Centres, Hospitals, or Lab facilities).
- Strong contract management skills; a Masters in Construction Law or a Commerce background is highly regarded.
- You are likely a Senior PE or PM who is hungry for autonomy and wants to define the Sydney digital infrastructure landscape.
Why Apply?
- Move \"client-side\" with a global brand that has a multi-year pipeline.
- Join a team that promotes based on delivery results, not years of service.
- Gain expertise in AI-driven data centre builds, the most resilient sector in construction today.
