Senior Electrical Project Manager | Commercial Construction | D&C

_{12th November, 2026}

Daniel Yelkovan from ri-kroot is recruiting a Senior Electrical Project Manager for a Tier 2 electrical contractor based near Murarrie, Brisbane. Full-time, permanent.

You'll lead three to six design and construct electrical packages at once — commercial buildings, warehouses and bulky goods retail — typically $1.5 million to $3 million, with individual projects up to $12 million. You report to the Head of Operations, with real authority and a strong contracted pipeline behind you.

About the role

Based near Murarrie, with sites across Southeast Queensland, you may be site based for a period on larger projects. An in-house design team and a Pre-construction Manager hand you a bought job, rather than leaving you to estimate it yourself. The business is hiring permanently, into growth.
What you'll do

• Run your packages from handover through to practical completion
• Own the commercial outcome: progress claims, cost to complete, forecast margin, variations and extensions of time
• Buy subcontract packages and hold subcontractors to programme
• Direct the supervisors and site teams on your projects
• Exercise purchase order and variation authority up to $50,000
• Be the point of contact for builders and clients

What you'll bring

• At least seven years in commercial and industrial electrical delivery, including three years as a project manager
• Current electrical licence and simPRO experience
• Experience managing a project portfolio above $8 million in concurrent value
• Strong commercial control of cost, margin, variations, claims and subcontract procurement
• White Card, current driver licence and full Australian working rights
• Design and construct experience is well regarded

What's on offer

• $160,000 – $200,000+ package, plus a fully maintained vehicle (fuel and tolls covered, with reasonable private use)
• Phone and laptop provided
• Permanent full-time, hiring into growth
• Based near Murarrie, with work across Southeast Queensland
