Job Description

Not many project management roles come with ocean views, national travel and the opportunity to shape some of Australia's favourite holiday destinations.  At NRMA Parks & Resorts, we're creating places where families reconnect, adventurers switch off and lifelong holiday memories are made.

• Manage project budgets, timelines, contractors, consultants and suppliers to ensure successful outcomes.
• Partner with operational teams to deliver projects safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to guests.
• Conduct site visits across Australia to monitor progress, solve problems and build strong stakeholder relationships.
• Drive quality, compliance and governance across all stages of project delivery.
• Build strong partnerships with park leaders and key stakeholders to align project delivery with operational and strategic priorities.
• Identify opportunities to improve assets, enhance guest experiences and support future growth.

What you will bring:

• Demonstrated experience leading capital works, construction, refurbishment, facilities, infrastructure or property projects.
• Proven people leadership experience, with the ability to mentor, develop and motivate a team while balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
• Strong project management capability and confidence managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience managing contractors, consultants, budgets and project schedules.
• A collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence, engage and build trusted relationships across all levels of the business.
• Strong commercial acumen and a practical, solutions-focused approach to problem solving.
• A commitment to safety, quality and delivering exceptional outcomes.
• The flexibility to travel across our national network of parks and resorts.

This is more than a project management role. It's an opportunity to help shape destinations enjoyed by millions of guests each year while working alongside passionate people who love what they do.
