Senior project manager

Melbourne
Gough Recruitment
Posted: 11h ago
Offer description

About the Company:

A well-established, privately owned commercial builder with a strong track record delivering complex industrial and large-scale commercial projects across Australia. Known for repeat business, hands‐on leadership and a pragmatic, delivery-focused culture, the business is now expanding its presence in South Australia with a landmark project in Adelaide. With a strong pipeline nationally and proven capability in delivering technically challenging builds, this is an opportunity to join a contractor entering an exciting growth phase in a new market.

About the Role:

You will take the lead on a major industrial/commercial development in Adelaide, with construction expected to run for approximately 18–24 months.

This is a true end-to-end delivery role where you will:

* Lead the project from early construction through to completion and handover
* Manage site and office teams, consultants and subcontractors
* Oversee programme, cost control, risk management and stakeholder coordination
* Drive safety, quality and programme outcomes on a large-scale, complex build

The role is suited to either:

* An established Senior Project Manager experienced in delivering large industrial or commercial builds; or
* A high-performing Project Manager ready to step up into a Senior position with full project ownership.

Candidates can be Adelaide-based or Melbourne-based, with full relocation support provided.

Role Requirements:

* 8+ years' experience in commercial construction (ideally industrial/warehouse/manufacturing/logistics projects)
* Proven track record delivering large-scale projects ($50M+ preferred)
* Strong programming, cost control and contract administration capability
* Experience leading site teams and managing client relationships
* Commercially astute with strong subcontractor management skills
* Stable employment history with reputable builders

Interstate candidates must be open to relocating to Adelaide for the duration of the project.

Benefits:

* Lead a landmark industrial development in South Australia
* Clear pathway into a Senior Project Manager position (if stepping up)
* Relocation costs covered for Melbourne-based candidates
* Long-term career opportunity — option to return internally to Melbourne upon project completion or become a key part of establishing and growing the Adelaide team
* Strong leadership support and national project pipeline

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a flagship industrial project while positioning yourself for long-term leadership growth within a well-regarded commercial builder.
