Project Manager (Moorabbin)

Project Manager We’re looking for a capable Project Manager to join our team in a newly created role. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more ownership, more trust, and a genuine chance to grow with a business that values good people, clear communication, and doing the job properly. We’re not looking for someone to just “fill a seat”. We want someone who enjoys running projects, working with clients and trades, solving problems, and taking pride in seeing a job through from start to finish. If you have 3+ years’ experience in project management, site management, contract administration, or a similar project delivery role, we’d like to hear from you. Why This Role Is Worth Your Attention This is a new role, which means there is room to make it your own. You’ll have the opportunity to step into a business where your input matters, your experience is respected, and your ideas are welcome. You won’t be buried in layers of management or treated like a number. We want someone who can grow with us long term. The right person will have real influence over how projects are managed, how systems are improved, and how the role develops over time. You’ll be joining a team that backs each other, communicates openly, and cares about delivering quality work without unnecessary corporate noise. About the Role As Project Manager, you’ll help manage construction projects from planning through to completion. You’ll be working with clients, consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, site teams, and internal staff to keep projects moving, solve issues early, and make sure jobs are delivered safely, professionally, and to a high standard. Your day-to-day will include:
- Planning and managing project programs
- Coordinating trades, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and site teams
- Managing budgets, variations, procurement, claims, and reporting
- Keeping clients and stakeholders informed
- Identifying risks and solving problems before they become bigger issues
- Running project meetings and following up actions
- Making sure documentation, approvals, and records are kept up to date
- Helping improve the way we manage projects as the business grows About You You don’t need to have 20 years’ experience or have worked on the biggest projects in the country. What we do want is someone who is switched on, organised, honest, and good with people. Someone who takes responsibility, communicates clearly, and knows how to keep a project moving. You might already be a Project Manager, or you might be a strong Contract Administrator, Site Manager, Project Coordinator, or Foreman ready to step up into a broader project management role. To be a good fit, you’ll likely have:
- Minimum 3 years’ experience in construction or project delivery
- A good understanding of construction programs, budgets, procurement, variations, and project documentation
- Experience working with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and clients
- Strong communication skills and a practical, calm approach to problem-solving
- The ability to manage priorities without needing to be micromanaged
- Pride in your work and the way you represent yourself and the business
- A genuine interest in building a long-term career, not just taking another job Software and Systems Experience We’re keen to understand what tools and systems you’ve used, because good systems make project delivery cleaner and more efficient. In your application, please tell us what software you’ve worked with and how you’ve used it. This may include:

- HammerTech

- Real construction experience, not just generic project management language
- A clear understanding of how projects actually run on site
- Valuable commercial awareness
- Strong communication with clients, trades, and consultants
- Ownership of outcomes
- A practical attitude when things change or problems come up

- A workplace without unnecessary politics or ego
- Autonomy, trust, and responsibility
- Direct access to decision-makers
