Client-Side Project Director (Construction) (3632965) Newcastle, Australia

Salary: AUD180000 - AUD220000 per annum

A boutique project and development management consultancy working across social infrastructure projects including education, universities and independent schools, aged care and retirement living, and community and affordable housing is seeking a Project Director or Strong Senior PM to join its senior leadership team.

About the business

  • Full property lifecycle delivery from early strategic planning through to post-occupancy.
  • Works with some of the largest institutional and corporate landholders in the country
  • Clients have openly stated this team is outperforming larger, better-resourced competitors
  • Early and committed adopter of new technology to drive efficiency, not replace people

The role

  • A genuine leadership position, not a delivery seat
  • Take ownership of the client services side of the business, freeing the founder to focus on growth of the business.
  • Oversee a small, capable team of senior and mid-level project managers
  • Help close the gap between senior PM and director-level oversight
  • Play a direct role in shaping the business as it scales
  • Work across multi-million-dollar university and institutional builds and sensitive federally funded social infrastructure projects.
  • Real autonomy, a business that backs its people to drive outcomes, not wait to be chased

What you’ll bring

  • 10+ years’ experience, with at least five years of that being on with a project management consultancy.
  • Senior-level, end-to-end project delivery experience, ready to step into strategic oversight and people leadership.
  • Institutional, government, or major corporate client-side experience highly regarded.
  • Comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving business with real influence on direction.
  • Capability and drive matter to make a real difference.

What's on offer

  • A genuine leadership seat, with a founder actively handing over client services
  • Monthly performance conversations, not once-a-year reviews
  • A track record of fast-tracking people who show they're capable of more
  • Exposure to some of the most interesting and high-value social infrastructure projects in the market
  • Flexible working hours.

If you're a project director or senior project manager looking for real ownership rather than another seat in a large machine, get in touch.
