Project Manager (Civil Construction)

Deliver Projects. Build Relationships. Take Ownership.

Archos Group is a growing construction company delivering projects across civil infrastructure, telecommunications, energy and electrical sectors.

As our Civil division continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Civil Project Manager to join our team and take responsibility for the successful delivery of a portfolio of upcoming civil projects within the energy and electrical sectors.

This is a hands-on Project Manager role for someone who enjoys being across the detail, building strong relationships with clients and project teams, and taking genuine ownership of project outcomes.

You’ll work closely with our Operations Managers, Project Site Supervisors, Project Accountant, WHSEQ team and field crews to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, profitably and to a high standard.

About the Role

As a Civil Project Manager, you will manage projects from mobilisation through to completion and handover, with responsibility for operational, commercial and client outcomes.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing projects from commencement through to practical completion and close-out

• Developing, monitoring and managing project programmes and construction sequencing

• Coordinating labour, plant, materials, subcontractors and other project resources

• Working closely with Supervisors and field teams to support efficient project delivery

• Maintaining strong relationships with clients and proactively managing expectations

• Monitoring project performance against budget, programme and contractual requirements

• Compiling monthly project performance reports for review with the Operations Manager

• Preparing and maintaining project information within Simpro, including forecasts, purchase orders, variations and other project records

• Completing regular project forecasting, including labour, materials, subcontractors, plant and expected margin

• Reviewing project costs and financial performance with the Project Accountant

• Preparing progress claims and ensuring supporting documentation is accurate and submitted on time

• Identifying, documenting, pricing and managing project variations

• Managing procurement and ensuring materials and equipment are available when required

• Identifying project risks early and developing practical solutions before they impact delivery

• Managing subcontractor performance and compliance

• Supporting project-specific WHSEQ planning, SWMS, ITPs, inspections and quality requirements

• Managing defects, NCRs and project close-out requirements

• Participating in client meetings, internal operations meetings and project reviews

• Contributing to tenders, project methodologies, programmes and lessons learned.

About You

We are looking for someone who combines strong civil construction knowledge with sound commercial judgement and a practical approach to project delivery.

You will ideally bring:

• Demonstrated experience managing civil construction or infrastructure projects

• Strong understanding of project programming, resource planning and construction methodology

• Sound commercial awareness, including budgets, forecasting, claims and variation management

• Experience coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, plant and field resources

• Strong client management and communication skills

• A proactive approach to identifying and resolving project risks

• A strong understanding of WHSEQ requirements within a construction environment

• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities

• Confidence working with project management and financial systems

• Experience using Simpro or a similar project management/ERP system would be highly regarded

• A collaborative leadership style and the ability to build effective relationships with both field and office-based teams.

Most importantly, we are looking for a Project Manager who takes ownership. Someone who stays across their projects, communicates early when issues arise and works collaboratively with the broader team to get the right outcome.
