Project Manager

About the Opportunity
Following the recent merger of RP Infrastructure and DCWC, we are entering a significant period of growth across Australia. With an expanding portfolio spanning Education, Health, Civic & Culture, Aviation, Industrial and more, we are focused on delivering exceptional outcomes by transforming vision into reality in an innovative and sustainable way.

Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of education projects, we are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our Melbourne-based Education team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a project professional with experience delivering projects across schools and tertiary education, science and research laboratories, or other complex building projects to join a leading client-side consultancy and work on projects that create meaningful outcomes for students, educators, researchers and the wider community.

You will work alongside an experienced national team, managing projects from planning and design through to construction and completion. Experience delivering projects within live or operational environments will be particularly valuable, where careful planning, stakeholder engagement and minimising disruption are critical to successful delivery.

As a Project Manager, you will:

• Lead the delivery of projects from planning through to completion.
• Manage consultants, contractors, procurement and project stakeholders.
• Oversee project budgets, programmes, risks, reporting and governance.
• Manage contract administration and construction phase activities.
• Build trusted relationships with clients and stakeholders to deliver successful project outcomes.

A little more about You
You’re an experienced Project Manager who enjoys delivering complex projects and working closely with clients, consultants and contractors.

You’ll bring:

• Education project experience across schools, universities, TAFEs, science or research facilities.
• Experience delivering science, laboratory or technically complex building projects is highly valued.
• Client-side, consultancy, contractor or construction project management experience across complex building projects.
• Experience delivering projects in live or operational environments with complex stakeholder requirements.
• Relevant qualifications and strong communication, organisation and project delivery skills.

We’re also open to Project Managers from other complex building sectors who bring strong transferable experience and an interest in education project delivery.

Why Join RPI?
At RPI, you’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive team delivering projects that shape communities across Australia.

We offer:

• Diverse and high-profile projects across education and other major sectors.
• Structured career development, mentoring and professional training.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
• A collaborative culture that values innovation, teamwork and client service.
• Employee wellbeing initiatives, social events and an active Diversity & Inclusion program.

If you’re an experienced Project Manager with a background in schools and tertiary education, science and research laboratories, or complex building projects, and you’re looking for the opportunity to deliver projects with a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
