Construction and renewable energy project managers, recruited for permanent roles or engaged on contract for the life of a project. Every candidate is interviewed in person and reference checked before we put them forward.

Project Manager supplied by TradeConnex

Hiring project manager through TradeConnex

A project manager carries the program, the budget and the client relationship from contract award to handover. The right hire depends on the job: a PM who has delivered commercial fitouts brings different experience to one who has run electrical works on a solar farm. We start by asking what you’re building, the contract type, the project value and the stage you’re hiring for.

On Wollar Solar Farm, a 280MWac project in the Central Tablelands, we placed an electrical project manager as part of the project and site leadership we filled for several contractors between September 2023 and September 2024. The same project took a construction manager, a project program scheduler and a contract administrator through us.

Most project manager roles we fill are permanent, through our permanent recruitment service. Where a client needs a PM for one project or to cover a gap, we can place them on contract instead. We recruit for project management and consultancy, commercial construction, civil infrastructure and renewable energy.

We check each candidate’s delivery history against your brief, then confirm it with the people they reported to.

What they do on site

  • Own the program, budget and scope from award to handover
  • Manage the client, consultants, design team and subcontractors
  • Run project meetings and report on progress, cost and risk
  • Plan procurement and resourcing for each stage of the build
  • Oversee safety, quality and environmental performance with the site team
  • Manage handover, defects and close-out
