This is not a step-up role, we need someone who has done the work, can plug in and take the lead. You could be an experienced Project manager in construction or maybe this role suits someone who's been doing the work but not getting the recognition — ready for a business that will back them and get out of their way.

You'll likely:

- Have 10+ years in the construction industry
- Hold 2+ years as a Project Manager OR 4+ years as a Senior Project Coordinator, ready to step up
- basically someone that's already doing the job, just doesn't have the title.
- Have strong commercial project experience — commercial, tier 1 high rise, education, health, medium-density (not pure volume residential)
- Be modular construction experienced or deeply curious about it
- Be client-savvy, personable, and someone people trust on site
- Be based on the west side of Melbourne or comfortable commuting to Ravenhall each day
- Be independent, reliable, and ready to hit the ground running Who this isn't for ❌ Anyone without actual Project Manager experience in construction — this is not a step-up role. You need to have done this job before and be ready to lead from day one ❌ People who need heavy structure, hand-holding, or constant check-ins

❌ Candidates who are precious about titles — this is about delivery, not hierarchy

❌ Anyone not comfortable being fully onsite 5 days a week

❌ People who struggle in fast-moving environments
