Evoke Projects | Well Places with Purpose
Our Values Come First
Be Open. Make it Count. Light the Way. Keep it Curious.
At Evoke, how we lead matters as much as what we build.
We communicate transparently.
We take ownership.
We lead with clarity and care.
We continuously improve.
We are seeking a construction leader whose judgement, standards and client conduct reflect these values at scale.
About Evoke
Evoke Projects is a national design & construct specialist delivering technically complex $2m–$15m new build and specialist fitout projects across healthcare and related sectors.
We operate predominantly within Design & Construct and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) models — partnering with clients early to shape cost, methodology and programme collaboratively.
As we expand nationally — particularly in new build — we are strengthening our operational structure to support disciplined, scalable growth.
The Mandate
This is a full lifecycle operational leadership role with accountability across:
* Sales presentation attendance (programme strategy & methodology input)
* Site and project investigation / buildability review
* Pre-construction review prior to contract
* Client handover
You will lead and be accountable for the performance of:
* Project Managers
* Contract Administrators
* Site Managers
* Operations Coordinator (Accounts Receivable & Job Book reporting)
* Head of Safety & Quality / Systems
This role carries responsibility for both delivery performance and operational infrastructure.
Your mandate is to import structured governance and systems from larger environments — and apply them pragmatically within a $2m–$15m D&C business.
You will always carry at least one active project to:
* Pressure-test systems in live conditions
* Ensure reporting frameworks are practical
* Stay connected to real project dynamics
This is a leadership role — but not a detached one.
Customer Experience & D&C Maturity
We are not a hard-dollar, adversarial contractor.
We are a relationship-driven D&C business.
We are particularly interested in leaders who have operated within:
* Upper Tier 3 commercial builders
* Client-side construction management
You understand that:
* Early involvement shapes outcomes
* Flexibility and commercial discipline must co-exist
* Client trust is built through calm, structured decision-making
* Client experience is strategic — not secondary.
Pragmatic Leadership in a D&C Environment
We operate in a genuine Design & Construct model.
Not everything is perfectly defined at day one.
You must be:
* Comfortable operating with ambiguity
* Flexible in aligning construction approaches to evolving client requirements
* Willing to step into detail when required
* Prepared to accept responsibility for portfolio outcomes
* Calm and commercially grounded under pressure
This role requires both strategic oversight and practical construction judgement.
Systems & Change Maturity
You will oversee operational reporting, job cost visibility, AR discipline and safety/quality systems through your leadership of the Operations Coordinator and Head of Safety & Quality.
We value improvement — not impulsive change.
The successful candidate will:
* Spend their first 6 months deeply understanding our business
* Work within existing systems and reporting structures
* Evaluate current processes before recommending structural or software changes
* Lead informed, thoughtful system evolution
We are seeking evolution — not disruption for its own sake.
The Capability Profile
You will demonstrate:
* Experience implementing delivery systems or governance frameworks
* Strong reporting and WIP discipline
* Leadership of PMs, CAs, Site Managers and operational support roles
* Commercial maturity without adversarial posture
Essential Qualifications
* Tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Building, Engineering or related discipline
* Strong technical grounding in construction methodology
* Strong Tier 2 leaders seeking broader influence — and upper Tier 3 leaders ready to scale with structure — are encouraged to apply.
Why Evoke?
* National growth platform
* Executive-level influence
* Values-led culture
* Opportunity to shape operational structure thoughtfully
* Executive remuneration commensurate with experience
* We are looking for a disciplined, open-minded construction leader who brings structure from bigger business, leads from the front, and builds systems that work in the real world.
