Job Description

Ready to build the future?

Imagine owning the delivery of a first-of-its-kind project, one that will shape how complex mechanical systems are built and deployed across Australia and beyond. Benmax has spent 40 years earning a reputation for excellence, and now we're taking on some of the most exciting and technically challenging projects in the region. This is your chance to step into a pivotal role, influence how this new delivery model comes to life, and grow your career while you do it.

As our Project Manager, you'll own end-to-end delivery on projects in the $50-100 million range, leading budgets, programs, and subcontractor relationships across some genuinely complex, multi-trade scopes. The role requires a willingness to travel nationally and internationally when projects demand it.

• Develop, document and implement project plans, tracking milestones, deliverables and budgets
• Manage contracts, subcontractor agreements, purchase orders, variations and project correspondence
• Lead project start-up meetings and ongoing team meetings
• Manage invoicing, receivables and approval of project payables
• Coordinate labour requirements and cost codes across site teams
• Review drawings for QA sign-off and manufacture
• Participate in internal and external QA audits and contribute to improving systems and processes
• Build and maintain client relationships
• Support business development, including converting construction projects into ongoing maintenance work
• Mentor and develop junior team members
• Ensure compliance with Benmax WHSEQ systems and relevant codes and standards

What you’ll bring:

• Minimum eight years of experience in project management, delivering complex construction projects in the $50-100 million range
• Proven experience across multi-trade or modular construction projects, end-to-end
• Experience managing large site teams and leading cadets or junior project managers
• Strong commercial acumen across contracts, budgets, variations and forecasting
• Sound knowledge of construction and WHS requirements
• Confident stakeholder manager, comfortable having difficult conversations when needed
• Clear, direct communicator who raises issues early and comes with solutions
• Willing to travel nationally and internationally when required
• Proficient in Microsoft Suite; Procore and Aconex experience highly regarded
• Permanent working rights in Australia

Qualifications:

• Tertiary qualification in Project Management, Construction Management, Engineering or a related field
• PMP, AIPM or equivalent professional certification (desirable)
• General Construction Induction Card (White Card)
• Certificate IV in WHS (desirable)
