Client Side Project Manager (Construction) (3591620) Sydney CBD, Sydney, Australia

Salary: AUD130000 - AUD170000 per annum

Most PM roles have a lane. You stay in it. You get good at one thing, and three years later your CV says the same thing it said when you started.

This one's different.

The role

This is an all-encompassing client-side PM position. The kind that's harder to find than it should be.

You'll develop client briefs, lead design delivery, manage consultant and contractor procurement, drive authority approvals, and own project financials and contract administration. From DA through to construction delivery, the role touches everything. And the sectors it touches are genuinely varied. Luxury residential, social housing, healthcare, aged care, and retirement living, often running in parallel.

You're likely coming from one of three places: client-side already and looking for more variety, an architect ready to make the move into project management, or a contractor background as a project engineer or CA who wants to step away from delivery-only work and into something with broader commercial exposure. All three transitions are viable here.

The company

This is a Sydney-based property advisory consultancy operating across strategy, development management, project management, and construction advisory. Fully integrated, genuinely boutique.

You're not walking into a standalone PM shop. You're joining a firm that touches every phase of a project's life, across a client base that spans the private and social sectors.

The leadership team comes from tier one contractor backgrounds. Deep technical credibility, no shortage of war stories, and a genuine interest in developing the people around them. The team is tight. That means less bureaucracy, more responsibility, and earlier access to senior work than you'd get inside a larger firm. It also means you need to be self-directed. There's no large back-office infrastructure to catch you.

What's in it for you?

Direct access to principals from day one. A project mix that builds a CV most single-sector roles can't touch. A pipeline with several years of work already secured. The kind of breadth that, three years from now, means your experience reads very differently to everyone who stayed in their lane.

If this sounds like the right move, you've got three options:
