Project Manager

Our client is a leading national retail group renowned for their commitment to innovation, quality, and customer experience. With a strong pipeline of new store builds and refurbishments, they are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join their Construction team and deliver high-profile retail projects that shape the customer experience nationwide.

About the Role

Reporting to the State Construction Manager, you'll oversee the end-to-end delivery of capital works projects valued between $10M–$50M. This role requires a strong technical foundation, exceptional communication skills, and the confidence to work autonomously while collaborating across multiple internal and external stakeholders.

You'll take ownership from early planning through to handover, managing budgets, schedules, and safety standards to ensure each project is delivered on time, on budget, and to a consistently high standard. With a busy national program already underway, this is an opportunity to hit the ground running and make a genuine impact from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Ability to manage conflict constructively and drive collaboration toward results
• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Construction Management, Engineering, or Project Management
