Lead $5M+ Childcare and Residential Projects as the NSW Construction Manager

Your new company

A well-established property development and construction group with a strong track record in delivering high-quality childcare and residential projects is expanding into New South Wales. With typical childcare builds around the $5M mark and a growing portfolio of residential developments, the company is poised for significant growth. This is a rare opportunity to join a business with a proven model and play a foundational role in launching its operations in a new region - Sydney.

Your new role

As Construction Manager, you will lead the setup and delivery of multiple childcare centres and residential projects across Sydney, with the first initial projects being mostly in Western Sydney. You'll be the first boots on the ground - managing sites, building a reliable trade and supplier network, and laying the groundwork for a future team. You'll work closely with our estimating and design teams based interstate and help shape the systems, safety standards, and operational structure for NSW.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Establishing a strong trade and supplier base to support efficient project delivery
  • Managing construction sites from initiation through to completion
  • Collaborating with interstate teams on design, estimating, and safety
  • Leading project scheduling and programming
  • Building and mentoring a local team as the business scales
  • Occasional travel interstate for onboarding and collaboration

What you'll need to succeed

  • Demonstrated experience in construction management, with a history of running your own projects
  • Strong leadership, accountability, and problem-solving skills
  • A solid network of trades and suppliers in NSW, with the ability to negotiate and deliver efficiently
  • Experience delivering childcare or residential projects, ideally in the $5M range
  • Willingness to travel for onboarding and team integration
  • A proactive, positive attitude and a collaborative mindset
  • Familiarity with safety systems and scheduling tools

What you'll get in return

  • A career-defining opportunity to lead a new regional expansion
  • Direct influence over project delivery, team structure, and operational setup
  • Support from an experienced leadership team
  • Competitive remuneration and long-term growth potential
  • A chance to shape the future of childcare and residential construction in NSW
