- Provide clear and concise project reporting to relevant stakeholders and governance forums
- Coordinate construction activities through to completion, certification and handover
- Ensure commercial and contractual obligations are effectively managed throughout the project
- Drive a strong focus on delivery, quality and value for money
 
About You:
- Proven experience delivering commercial office fit-outs, refurbishments or similar capital works projects
- Strong end-to-end project management experience across design, procurement and construction
- Experience managing architects, design consultants, builders and external contractors
