Project Manager

About the role

As Project Manager, you'll take full ownership of our Darwin project, from planning and budget through to delivery and client handover. You'll lead the site team, manage subcontractors and consultants, keep the program and commercials on track, and be the key point of contact for the client throughout. This is genuine end-to-end ownership of budget, program, team, and client relationship on a project that'll do more for your career than another suburban job ever could.

Key responsibilities

• Owning project delivery end to end, program, budget, quality and safety
• Leading and coordinating the site team, subcontractors and consultants
• Managing client relationships and acting as the primary point of contact on-site
• Overseeing cost control, forecasting and commercial performance in conjunction with the Contracts team
• Identifying risks early and driving practical solutions before they become problems
• Ensuring compliance with HSE standards and CC Pines' zero-incident track record
• Reporting project progress and performance to senior leadership
• Mentoring and developing site-based staff as the project scales

About you

• Proven experience as a Project Manager on commercial, infrastructure or government construction projects
• Experience with Defence, DFAT or other government-funded projects highly regarded
• Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to own budgets and forecasts, not just report on them
• Confident leadership across multidisciplinary site teams and subcontractors
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, including direct client relationships
• Sound understanding of HSE requirements and a genuine commitment to a safe site
• Tertiary qualification in Construction Management, Engineering or a related field
• Based in Darwin, or willing and able to relocate

About us

CC Pines is an Australian-owned, family-founded construction company with a 45-year track record of delivering complex, high-risk projects that other contractors won't touch, from embassy builds in Morocco to Defence infrastructure across the Pacific. We work with the Australian Department of Defence, DFAT, and the US Department of Defence, and we've never had a reportable safety incident. We're big enough to run world-class projects, small enough that your voice actually gets heard. Our values, humble, hungry, smart, aren't a poster on the wall. They're how we pick our people and how we run our projects.
