Project Manager

Foundation Recruitment has partnered with a respected Northern Territory construction company with a strong pipeline of commercial, government and private sector work. Due to continued growth, they are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join their Darwin-based team.

This is an opportunity for a practical, outcomes-focused construction professional who enjoys taking ownership of projects from award through to handover. A trade background, particularly in carpentry, will be highly regarded.

Reporting to senior management, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of projects across all stages of the construction lifecycle.

• Managing multiple projects from commencement to completion.
• Developing and maintaining project programmes and construction schedules.
• Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and internal teams.
• Managing project budgets, forecasts and cost control.
• Preparing and submitting progress claims, variation claims and supporting documentation.
• Contract administration and management of project correspondence.
• Monitoring project performance against programme, budget and quality objectives.
• Building and maintaining strong client and stakeholder relationships.
• Identifying and managing project risks and opportunities.
• Ensuring compliance with WHS, quality and environmental standards.
• Leading project meetings and providing regular reporting to management.

About You To be successful, you will ideally possess:

• A trade qualification, preferably Carpentry/Building.
• Previous experience managing commercial construction projects.
• Strong understanding of construction methodologies and sequencing.
• Demonstrated experience preparing progress claims and managing project finances.
• Sound knowledge of construction contracts and contract administration.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities.
• A proactive, hands-on approach and commitment to project outcomes.
• Current Australian Driver's Licence.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary package.
• Long-term career opportunity with a reputable NT contractor.
• Diverse range of commercial and construction projects.
• A high level of autonomy and responsibility.
• Supportive leadership team and positive workplace culture.
• Darwin-based role with a stable and growing business.
