About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Project Manager / Project Coordinator to join our growing landscape construction business. This is a pivotal role responsible for coordinating all aspects of our residential landscape projects – from pre-construction planning through to on-site delivery and completion.
This role has been intentionally designed to suit candidates at different stages of their career and offers clear opportunities for progression over time. Whether you are new to the landscaping industry with transferable project management experience, an experienced project manager looking to take the next step once established in the role, or a graduate seeking to build a long-term career in construction and project delivery, we encourage you to apply.
This is a client-facing position suited to someone who thrives on organisation, clear communication, and delivering exceptional outcomes. You will work closely with management, our Head Estimator, suppliers, subcontractors, and clients to ensure every project is delivered safely, efficiently, and profitably.
You will also play a key role during the pre-construction phase, working alongside the Head Estimator to review and confirm tenders, scopes, and budgets before projects are handed over to construction.
This position offers flexibility, with regular site visits across Melbourne.
