Client-side project manager (construction)

Melbourne
SwitchCo
Construction
Posted: 18 March
Offer description

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager with 5+ years delivering complex infrastructure or maritime projects, ideally within operational, live or high‐compliance environments. This is not a junior stepping‐stone role — it is suited to someone confident operating at a senior level with autonomy and authority.

Empowerment and Growth

Join us, and you'll find a career path carved just for you, with opportunities to grow as vast as the projects you'll manage. With autonomy and flexibility, you'll steer the helm of time, budget, and quality, ensuring our clients' dreams rise from the ground up. And don't worry, our team's got your back—support is our foundation.

Your Daily Blueprint

* Project Planning: Lead full lifecycle project planning, including feasibility, authority approvals, stakeholder alignment and design management across complex infrastructure or maritime environments.
* Team Leadership: Provide senior leadership across consultants, contractors and specialist stakeholders, ensuring compliance within live, operational or high‐risk sites.
* Operational Excellence: Drive procurement strategy, contract negotiation, risk allocation and commercial performance across multiple concurrent projects.
* Financial Management: Manage multi‐million‐dollar project budgets, forecasting, variations and commercial risk.
* Quality Assurance: Lead compliance reviews, regulatory engagement and site governance inspections.
* Client Delight: Act as trusted advisor to clients, providing strategic direction and confident decision‐making.

Your New Professional Home

Based in Melbourne, you'll enjoy the agility of a small business with the reach of a big one. At SwitchCo, you'll experience career‐defining moments that are as unique as you are.

Compensation

We offer a competitive salary range that reflects your expertise and experience. Benefits are designed to support your well‐being and future.

Realities of the Role

This is a senior delivery role. It requires sound judgement, commercial maturity and the confidence to make difficult decisions under pressure. You will be trusted to operate autonomously and represent SwitchCo at a senior level with clients and contractors.

Your Toolkit for Success

* Experience:
* 5+ years delivering construction or infrastructure projects end‐to‐end (7–10 years preferred).
* Demonstrated experience delivering complex, high‐value or high‐risk projects in maritime, fuel, civil or infrastructure environments.
* Experience operating within live, operational, secure or regulated environments.
* Proven ability to manage scope, programme, budget and quality across multiple concurrent projects.
* Track record of leading consultants and contractors on projects of significant scale or complexity.
* Education: A degree in building, engineering, or project management is a plus.
* Independence: Own your projects with confidence from day one.
* Engagement: Be an independent thinker, passionate learner, and quality‐driven achiever.

The SwitchCo Way - A Path Paved with Trust and Excellence

* Partnerships Built on Trust: Transparency and honesty are our guiding stars.
* Fearless Project Delivery: We tackle projects head‐on, guided by our core values.
* Ownership of Outcomes: Accountability is our promise, in success and learning.
* Petroleum Expertise: Our authority in petroleum projects sets us apart.
