PROJECT MANAGER - Commercial Catering Equipment
Dynamic Catering Solutions is a Territory‐owned business delivering commercial kitchen and food service projects across government, defence and private sector clients.
Our projects range from $50K equipment installations through to multi‐million dollar kitchen packages including design coordination, equipment supply, refrigeration systems and installation.
Due to continued project growth we are seeking an experienced Project Manager to take ownership of capital equipment and kitchen installation projects from pricing through to delivery.
The Kind of Person Who Succeeds Here
You are:
* Commercially sharp — you understand margin, not just revenue
* Confident reading drawings and performing take‐offs
* Structured in how you manage scope, variations and documentation
* Comfortable holding subcontractors accountable
* Calm when projects become complex
* Disciplined with cost control and forecasting
* Pricing projects properly — not guessing
* Protecting margin from tender through to handover
* Managing gas, plumbing, electrical and refrigeration subcontractors
* Integrating into builder and government schedules
* Delivering projects without chaos
You don't need someone to check your work daily.
You don't need to be chased for updates.
You take ownership.
The Role
You will be responsible for managing approximately $2.5M–$3M per annum in capital equipment projects.
This includes:
* Performing detailed take‐offs from plans and specifications
* Obtaining supplier and subcontractor pricing
* Preparing accurate tenders and formal quotations
* Identifying scope risks before submission
* Managing variations correctly and profitably
* Coordinating subcontractors across installation phases
* Monitoring budget vs actual performance
* Delivering projects on time and on budget
* Ensuring QA documentation and handover standards are met
* Protecting minimum gross profit
You will work alongside the Operations & Contracts Manager, who controls systems, purchasing, logistics and contract compliance.
Your focus is commercial delivery and project performance.
What You Must Bring
To be considered, you must have:
* Demonstrated experience estimating and delivering construction or capital equipment projects
* Strong understanding of subcontractor coordination
* Ability to read drawings and specifications confidently
* Experience managing project budgets and cost‐to‐complete forecasting
* Proven record delivering projects on time and on margin
* Strong commercial judgement
* Experience in commercial kitchens, catering equipment, refrigeration or mechanical services
* Experience working within Government or Defence projects
Who This Role Is Not For
This role will not suit you if you:
* Focus only on sales and avoid delivery responsibility
* Avoid difficult conversations with subcontractors
* Struggle with financial accountability
* Allow scope creep without variation control
* Need excessive direction
* Manage and deliver $2.5M–$3M annual revenue
* Maintain or exceed gross profit %
* Deliver 90%+ of projects on or ahead of schedule
* Strong subcontractor performance and compliance
The Environment
You'll be part of a professional, locally owned Territory business that:
* Works across commercial, government and Defence sectors
* Values structure and accountability
* Expects high standards
* Supports people who take ownership
