Client-Side Assistant Project Manager (Construction)

$90,000 - $120,000 a year
Connexus Recruitment
Sydney Full-day Full-time

Description:

This is an Assistant Project Manager role for someone who wants to be properly involved, not hidden behind spreadsheets or stuck doing admin while senior PMs run the show.



You'll be joining a highly experienced team that needs another capable set of hands, which means exposure, trust, and accountability from day one.



Why this role stands out

  • Ideal role to transfer from a contractor to a consultancy.
  • Client-side hours, not builder-side grind, you'll be involved, but not run into the ground.
  • Hands-on delivery role across retail, commercial and industrial projects.
  • Learn directly from senior PM s with deep delivery experience and progress quickly.
  • Busy pipeline right now- projects are live, decisions are being made daily, and you'll be involved



What you're walking into

A highly experienced team with a culture that is based on trust and accountability.

The team wants someone who can pick things up, run with packages, and take pressure off the seniors.

You'll work closely with two senior leaders across retail, commercial and industrial projects at different stages of delivery, from fast-moving fit outs to complex new builds with serious moving parts.




What you'll actually be doing

You'll be involved across:

  • Contract administration and cost tracking
  • Working directly with builders and site teams
  • Coordinating consultants and stakeholders
  • Supporting live projects through construction and close-out
  • Gradually developing into full life cycle of projects from concept to handover




Which means you're learning how projects actually run, not just how they're meant to run in theory.

This will suit you if…

  • You're solid on CA fundamentals and understand how contracts work in practice
  • You've come from a builder or construction background and are comfortable dealing with site teams
  • You're proactive, organised, and don't wait to be told what to do next.
  • Want an exciting role with your personal life back.



Attitude matters more than ticking every box.


They want someone engaged, switched on, and ready to step up, the rest can be learnt.


What you'll get

  • Fast progression
  • Work life balance in the heart of Sydney CBD
  • Exposure to high-quality retail and industrial projects with real delivery complexity
  • Daily access to senior PMs who mentor, not just delegate
  • Work-from-home flexibility once you're up to speed
  • A short, sharp interview process
