Job Description

Project Manager - Property & Buildings

Sydney, NSW

Looking for a role where you can truly own projects, work directly with clients, and deliver projects that make a lasting impact?

Bureau Veritas is seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our Buildings team in Sydney, delivering a diverse portfolio of government and public sector projects across New South Wales.

This role is ideally suited to a project professional with 5+ years' experience who enjoys taking ownership, building strong client relationships, and managing complex projects through the full project lifecycle. You'll work client-side across a mix of new build and refurbishment projects, helping deliver important public assets and community infrastructure that directly improve the places where people live, work and connect.

You'll be trusted to operate autonomously, manage stakeholders with confidence, and drive successful project outcomes, while also being supported by a highly experienced national team. As part of a broader Buildings and Infrastructure business, you'll have the opportunity to diversify your experience across a range of market sectors and project types as your career evolves.

Whether your background is client-side, consultancy, contractor, architecture, engineering or construction management, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team delivering interesting and challenging projects across NSW.

The Role

As a Project Manager within our Buildings team, you'll lead the delivery of government and public sector projects from inception through to completion.

You'll be responsible for managing design consultants, contractors, budgets and stakeholders while ensuring exceptional service delivery for your clients throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Projects will include a combination of new build developments and major refurbishments, often within complex stakeholder environments requiring strong leadership, commercial acumen and project management expertise.

While you'll have the autonomy to manage your own portfolio, you'll also be part of a collaborative and highly regarded national team, providing opportunities to learn from experienced leaders and broaden your exposure into sectors including education, defence, health, commercial and social infrastructure.

No two projects are the same, offering genuine variety, challenge and long-term career development.

Why Join Us?

• Join a collaborative team with the backing of a growing national business
• Access opportunities to diversify your experience across multiple sectors and project types
• Learn from experienced project leaders and industry experts
• Enjoy clear career pathways and genuine opportunities for progression
