Senior Project Manager - New Build to $30m

A rare opportunity to step into a senior delivery role with a well-regarded Sydney head contractor — involved from tender through to handover on meaningful new build work across the education and aged care sectors. A true leader in terms of build smarts, culture, reputation, and staff engagement. 

About the company
Our client is a specialist head contractor operating across fit-out, refurbishment and new build construction in NSW. Backed by strong institutional relationships and a reputation for delivering high-quality, tailored projects, the business is known for its collaborative culture and accessible senior leadership.

They work across a diverse multi-sector portfolio with a consistent pipeline of repeat-client projects, including notable work in the education and community sectors.

The role
This is a newly created role and a strategic hire due to continued success and tender pipeline. 

Based in the Crows Nest office, you'll be engaged across the full project lifecycle — contributing to tender-stage programming and methodology before transitioning into full end-to-end project delivery. You'll report directly to the General Manager and carry responsibility for projects in the $10M-$30M range across education and aged care. Day-to-day, this will include:
  • Managing project delivery from tender award through to practical completion and defects
  • Leading and coordinating project teams including site management, CAs and subcontractors
  • Developing and maintaining project programmes, monitoring progress against milestones
  • Chairing progress meetings and managing client relationships throughout construction
  • Overseeing subcontractor procurement, progress claims, variations and EOTs
  • Ensuring compliance with safety, quality and contractual obligations across all phases
About you
  • Degree qualified in Construction Management, Engineering or a related discipline
  • Minimum 8-10 years' experience as a Project Manager with a head contractor in Sydney
  • Proven track record delivering new build projects in the $10M-$30M range
  • Sector experience in education, aged care, health or community construction is highly desirable but not essential. 
  • Background from a Tier 2 or Tier 3 builder — you understand how to run effective project teams, 
  • Confident in managing client relationships and presenting to stakeholders at all levels
  • Proficient with industry-standard project management and reporting tools
What's on offer
  • Package circa $250,000 + super, negotiable commensurate with experience
  • Direct reporting line to the General Manager — genuine visibility and influence from day one. 
  • Opportunity to grow as the division expands. 
  • Involvement at the tender stage, giving you ownership of the project from the outset
  • Crows Nest-based office with a settled, senior team and a clear forward pipeline
  • A business built on repeat-client relationships, where delivery quality is genuinely valued
