Senior Project Manager
Senior Project Manager - Civil Infrastructure
We’re partnering with a leading civil contracting business to appoint a Senior Project Manager to take full ownership of a complex, multi-million-dollar civil infrastructure project.
This is a senior role for an experienced PM who has managed complex civil projects, thrives at the interface of delivery, contract management, and stakeholder engagement, and can operate with authority across multi-million-dollar budgets.
Why This Role Matters
You will operate at a senior level, leading a multi-disciplinary site team and engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, including clients, councils, subcontractors, and local communities.
Your leadership and decision-making will directly influence project success and provide certainty for the business and its stakeholders.
The Project
This is a large-scale civil infrastructure project, designed to deliver long-term resilience and critical outcomes for the region.
The project is being delivered to a 100+ year design life, making it a true piece of infrastructure that will stand the test of time. It carries significant community visibility and requires a Project Manager who understands the importance of getting it right the first time.
With extensive earthworks, concrete structures, and multiple stakeholder interfaces, this is a project of real significance - both technically and from a community impact perspective.
The Role
You’ll lead the project from day-to-day execution to completion, ensuring safety, quality, contractual compliance, and commercial performance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing subcontractors, pricing, variations, claims, and contract compliance
- Delivering accurate reporting on budgets, cost-to-complete, progress, and risks
- Owning stakeholder engagement, building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, councils, subcontractors, and communities
- Ensuring QA, H&S, and environmental compliance
- Supporting bid strategy, contract methodology, and commercial oversight
- Driving team performance, accountability, and standards across multi-layered teams
- Proven experience delivering complex civil projects of $20M+ from start to finish
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience managing clients, councils, subcontractors, and community groups
- Commercial acumen, including budgeting, cost control, variations, claims, and financial reporting
- Hands-on leadership of multi-layered teams, with credibility and authority
- Ability to operate under pressure, make critical decisions, and manage challenging on-site interactions
- Mature, professional, and “hardline” where required, with honesty and accountability
This is not a mid-level PM role. The successful candidate will have the autonomy, influence, and authority to deliver a high-profile project and manage multiple priorities at a senior level.
The Opportunity- Lead a high-profile project of significance that will stand the test of time
- Attractive experience-dependent salary of $200,000+ vehicle
- Permanent or contracting arrangements considered for the right candidate
- Accommodation provided or commuting options available
- Strong pipeline of follow-on work
