We are seeking a dynamic and detail-oriented Project Manager to oversee and coordinate fabrication-related activities for modular process plant projects.

- Maintain strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and subcontractors
- Facilitate regular progress updates, meetings, and reporting
Commercial Oversight
- Track fabrication costs and ensure alignment with project budgets
- Support contract administration, variation management, and commercial negotiations
- Collaborate with finance and procurement teams to ensure accurate billing and cost control
Interface Management
- Work in tandem with the Production Manager to ensure seamless handover between office and workshop activities
- Coordinate documentation, drawings, and fabrication packages for production readiness
- Ensure compliance with project specifications, quality standards, and delivery milestones
Candidate Requirements
Qualifications & Experience
Minimum Requirements
- Proven experience in Project Management within a fabrication, engineering, or industrial environment
- Strong understanding of Modular Plant Fabrication workflows and deliverables
- Excellent client-facing communication and relationship-building skills
- Proficient in Project Scheduling tools (e.g., MS Projects, Primavera) and document control systems
- Relevant tertiary qualification in Engineering, Project Management, or related field
Desirable
- Experience working in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
- Exposure to international project delivery and modular plant systems
- Commercial acumen and contract management experience
Key Competencies
- Strong planning and organisational skills
- High attention to detail and documentation accuracy
- Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
- Results-driven, collaborative, and resilient under pressure
- Professional communication and negotiation skills
