• Oversee consultant and subcontractor engagement through to handover
• Provide accurate cost reporting and commercial advice
• Collaborate with Sales and Estimating teams on bids and pitches
• Ensure projects transition into construction with clarity and confidence

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ Project Management experience, ideally in a Design & Construct environment in Australia or the UK
• Proven delivery of workplace fit out projects
• Strong commercial acumen and cost planning capability
• Experience guiding clients through multi-stage design and budgeting processes
• Confidence using systems such as Procore, ACC, Excel and MS Project
