About the Opportunity

This is an exciting chance for a career-driven professional with project management and design experience to join a national company, working between our Adelaide and Kingsford offices.

As the Design and Construction Project Manager, you will be collaborating with the General Manager to oversee the transition of conceptual design detail through to construction issue detail for multiple complex projects within the Grain Storage and Handling sector. The successful candidate will also be responsible for engaging with consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients to procure the best value for money and highest quality materials for each project.

A leading division of the Ahrens family of brands, D&C Grain Storage & Handling specialise in designing, fabricating, and installing a wide range of turnkey projects from inner-city to regional and remote areas, including rural infrastructure for material handling/storage and processing, servicing on-farm primary producers and rural businesses. Our division provides cutting-edge project solutions on time and on budget, delivering projects of all sizes, from small-scale to substantial developments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage the design phase of multiple projects from concept to hand-over, ensuring quality, design cost, safety, and time frame parameters are achieved.

  • Assist in procurement by engaging with consultants, subcontractors, suppliers to procure the best materials and services for each project.
  • Review and analyse specifications, drawings, and related data to assess the designs, procedures, and instructions to be followed.
  • Create instructions and additional comments for the installation and construction of the design.
  • Liaise with clients and/or their representatives and organise design progression meetings or other information to be received from or distributed to them as required.
  • Ensure all requisitions are planned and submitted in advance for long lead-time procurement items so that timely delivery of supplies to the site is achieved. Materials should not be stored on the site for excessive periods of time.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Minimum 2-3 years' experience in project management, design management, or mechanical engineering in the Design & Construction industry.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills for developing and maintaining client and subcontractor relationships.
  • Excellent time management and prioritisation skills to deliver timely client response.
  • Solid construction industry knowledge.
  • Formal qualification in project management, mechanical engineering, mechanical drafting, or equivalent experience in a similar role.
  • Construction Industry Workers (White Card) – to be obtained if not already held.
  • Sound technical experience in using CAD or other 3D design software.
  • Sound technical experience using Microsoft suite of products, especially Excel.
  • Advanced ability to efficiently review, optimise, and manage design detail.

Benefits:

  • Employee Assistance Program, supporting you and your family's health and wellbeing.
  • Discounts to some of Australia's leading corporate partners in private health insurance, gyms, travel, clothing, vehicles, and more.
  • Generous paid parental leave entitlements to support you and your family.
  • Annual Employee Donation Scheme to support a charity/cause of your choice.
  • Family, social, and team-building events.
