About the Role:

We are partnering with a premier Queensland State Government department to secure an experienced Project Manager (Capital Projects) to join their maritime assets and infrastructure team.

In this role, you will lead high-profile public infrastructure projects from feasibility, concept, and detailed design through to construction-readiness. A key priority will involve driving a flagship boat harbour upgrade project—progressing concept designs into detailed, construction-ready plans while shaping land-side, marine, and active transport infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead multidisciplinary consultant teams, technical advisors, and design reviews across civil, marine, and land-side infrastructure.
• Progress key projects through formal gated assurance frameworks and government governance systems to achieve construction readiness.
• Manage end-to-end procurement, tender documentation, and contract administration for design and technical consultants.
• Control project governance, including schedules, budgets, cash flows, and risk registers in enterprise project systems (e.g., 3PCM / SAP).
• Engage proactively with key stakeholders, local councils, contractors, and internal project teams.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven track record managing infrastructure projects through planning and design phases (civil, marine, transport, or public sector environments preferred).
• Tertiary qualifications in Project Management, Civil Engineering, Construction, Urban Planning, or equivalent industry experience.
• Solid grasp of contract management, procurement, and gated project frameworks (TMR OnQ, PMBOK, or PRINCE2).
• Highly developed stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience with project management systems such as 3PCM, SAP, or MS Project is highly advantageous.
