Based at either Dubbo, Toowoomba or Newcastle (Carrington), we are looking for a Project Manager on contract for approximately 12mths. 

You will be responsible for the delivery to plan of a wide variety of exciting multi-discipline capital projects (budgeted) that range from small maintenance projects, procurement and complex bulk handling and infrastructure builds up to 1 million dollars.

This client-side role gives you plenty of chances to put your project management skills to work.  As an advisor and service provider, you will be required to identify opportunities to improve the business assets and functions, as well as run projects from their inception to their conclusion. This will be done while maintaining a transparent and stakeholder inclusive communications program.

This is a diverse, challenging, yet satisfying role, where you will not only be delivering projects in a resource constrained environment across a large geographically area, you will also be managing a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.

Our ideal candidate will hold qualifications in Project Management with practical experience in supporting and delivering projects in any industry.

• Project management experience, including management of site staff, contractors, budgets, project expenditure, schedules, safety, compliance and project records in an industrial construction environment.
• Your skill set could be from a project management, design, site engineering or maintenance background with experience in on-site management of contractors and project activities.
• Any experience in construction of bulk handling infrastructure including ports, material storage, conveyors, rail, roads (civil), control systems, power systems, and relevant infrastructure will be looked upon favourably.

• Ability to work autonomously
• Proven experience managing projects from initiation to completion

 

Finally, you should be willing and able to travel in the role: 1-2 day trips / month during planning phase; 2 days / week for a few consecutive weeks during construction phase; a little more than this for larger commissioning projects.
