Jane Harvey
  • Step up from Leading Hand / Supervisor into Project Management
  • $1M-$4M commercial electrical projects
  • Strong support + real ownership + career growth
Most Project Manager roles ask for years of experience you may not formally have yet. This one doesn’t.
If you’re already:
  • Running jobs on site
  • Leading teams
  • Dealing with builders and clients
  • Keeping projects moving
Then you’re likely already doing a large part of this role.

This is an opportunity to step into Project Management properly, with the support of a business that understands how to develop people - not just hire “finished” candidates.

THE OPPORTUNITY
You’ll be supported to take ownership of projects across:
  • Planning and coordination
  • Site leadership and delivery
  • Client and stakeholder communication
  • Programme and commercial awareness
This is a hands-on PM role.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR


You don’t need to have the title “Project Manager”.
But you do need to be:

  • Already leading jobs or sections of work
  • Comfortable running site activities and teams
  • Confident dealing with builders and stakeholders
  • Organised and able to keep projects on track
  • Electrical trade background is essential
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
  • Projects run smoothly
  • Teams are organised and productive
  • Clients are communicated with clearly
  • Problems are solved early - not escalated late
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
  • You’ll be trusted - not micromanaged
  • You’ll be developed - not expected to already know everything
  • You’ll have real ownership - not just reporting responsibility
  • You’ll work with a practical leadership team
WHAT’S ON OFFER
  • Competitive salary aligned to experience
  • Clear progression into a full Project Manager role
  • Strong pipeline of commercial work
  • Support from experienced leadership
