Project Manager - Electrical (Tier 3)

Current Group is a Melbourne-based electrical contractor delivering commercial construction projects across the Tier 3 market.

We’ve been operating for over 20 years and have built our reputation by taking on challenging projects, solving problems and delivering quality electrical installations.

We’re big enough to deliver serious projects, but small enough that you won't become employee number 427.

You'll work directly with the directors, estimators, supervisors and site teams and have a genuine say in how your projects are delivered.

As an Electrical Project Manager, you'll take responsibility for your projects from handover through to completion.

You'll be responsible for:

• Managing multiple commercial electrical projects

• Reviewing budgets, estimates, scope and contractual requirements

• Developing and maintaining project programmes

• Managing procurement and long-lead items

• Managing supervisors, electricians, apprentices and subcontractors

• Maintaining strong relationships with builders, consultants and clients

• Managing RFIs, variations, EOTs and project correspondence

• Preparing and reviewing monthly progress claims

• Tracking labour, materials and project costs against budget

• Attending site and project meetings

• Identifying issues early — before they become expensive problems

• Managing commissioning, defects, handover and project close-out

• Ensuring projects are delivered safely, professionally and profitably

Ideally, you've come through the electrical industry and understand how projects actually get built.

You might already be an Electrical Project Manager, or you could be an experienced Project Coordinator, Contracts Administrator or Site Manager who's ready to take the next step.

More importantly, we're looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership instead of making excuses

• Communicates clearly and consistently

• Understands commercial electrical construction

• Can read drawings, specifications and contracts

• Understands labour and knows the difference between being busy and being productive

• Is commercially minded and understands that a successful project needs to make money

• Can build strong relationships with builders without being afraid to have difficult conversations

• Supports their supervisors and site teams

• Is organised and stays ahead of procurement, variations and programme

• Doesn't need to be chased to get things done

• Wants to improve themselves and the people around them

If your idea of project management is sitting behind a laptop waiting for someone to tell you there's a problem, this probably isn't the role for you.

If every problem is someone else's fault, this definitely isn't the role for you.

And if you're chasing a job purely because you want to say you work on the “big builds”, there are plenty of Tier 1 contractors who can offer you that.

We're interested in delivering good projects with good people.

You'll be joining a growing electrical business where you'll have genuine responsibility and the opportunity to influence how we operate.

You'll have:

• Direct access to the company directors

• Autonomy to manage your projects

• Support from estimating, administration and site teams

• A variety of commercial projects across Melbourne

• Opportunities to develop your commercial and management skills

• A business that invests heavily in systems, technology and improving the way electrical projects are delivered

• A long-term position with room to grow as Current Group continues to grow
