Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Design Build Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

An award-winning commercial builder with a strong reputation in the fit-out sector is seeking an experienced Project Director to lead a landmark project in Melbourne's CBD.

This is a pivotal leadership role where you'll drive processes, ensure consistency across delivery teams, and take full ownership of project success.

You'll be supported by a capable Senior Project Manager and site delivery team, with the expectation that you'll bring structure, strategy, and leadership to a complex and design-driven build.

With several high-value projects in the pipeline and a strong client base across the commercial sectors, this builder offers long-term career potential and the opportunity to deliver some of Melbourne's most iconic interiors.

Role Overview
Reporting directly to the Director, the Project Director will oversee all project delivery aspects, ensuring adherence to quality, time, and budget while driving continuous improvement across processes and systems.

You'll provide leadership and mentorship to the Senior Project Manager and delivery team, ensuring accountability and efficiency across all stages of construction.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead project delivery, ensuring all milestones are achieved on time and to a high standard
  • Drive company processes and procedures to ensure project consistency and compliance
  • Oversee project budgets, schedules, and reporting across multiple stakeholders
  • Mentor and support the Senior Project Manager and broader delivery team
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants, and subcontractors
  • Proactively identify and mitigate project risks to ensure successful outcomes

Requirements for the Role

  • Proven experience delivering complex fit-out or refurbishment projects (hospitality experience highly advantageous)
  • Strong background in project management or construction delivery - degree not essential if backed by hands-on experience
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage multiple stakeholders, and drive process improvement
  • Commercial acumen with a strong understanding of budgeting, procurement, and program management
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills

Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to lead one of Melbourne's most exciting hospitality fit-outs within a respected and growing builder. You'll play a key role in shaping the future of the company's delivery standards while working on a project that will become a CBD landmark.
