The Opportunity

Project Manager – Buildings & Infrastructure
Canberra, ACT

Canberra is continuing to evolve as a key hub for public sector investment, community development, and essential infrastructure.

We’re looking for an ambitious and motivated Project Manager to join our Bureau Veritas – Buildings and Infrastructure team in Canberra, supporting the delivery of projects that strengthen communities and public assets across the ACT. This is an exciting opportunity to work across a diverse portfolio, including health facilities, community infrastructure, local council projects, and commercial fit-outs.

Working in a collaborative, supportive, and forward‑thinking environment, you’ll contribute to projects that improve how people live, work, and connect across Canberra. This role offers strong career development, variety, and exposure to meaningful projects across both public and private sectors.

The Role

As a Project Manager, you’ll be involved across the full project lifecycle—from early planning and design through procurement, delivery, and handover. You’ll work closely with clients, designers, contractors, and internal specialists to translate complex ideas into successful, well‑coordinated outcomes.

This role suits someone looking to build breadth as a generalist Project Manager—gaining exposure across multiple sectors while strengthening their capability as a trusted advisor and project leader within a consulting environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting and managing end‑to‑end project delivery across design, procurement, construction, and handover
• Working client‑side within a consultancy environment across a diverse mix of projects, including health, community infrastructure, local government, and commercial fit-outs
• Coordinating multidisciplinary consultant and contractor teams to ensure clarity, accountability, and momentum
• Engaging with architects and designers to guide outcomes aligned with client requirements, programme, and budget
• Assisting with procurement strategies, risk management, and delivery planning
• Supporting contract administration and superintendent functions, working closely with delivery partners
• Monitoring budgets, schedules, and reporting requirements to ensure projects are delivered on time and within scope

About You

You’re a motivated project professional who enjoys variety, responsibility, and delivering projects that make a tangible impact. You bring:

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Construction, Project Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related discipline
• 3+ years’ experience in a related role, ideally within a consultancy or client‑side environment
• Exposure to end‑to‑end project delivery across design, procurement, and/or construction phases
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to work across diverse project teams
• Design phase capability and confidence contributing to consultant coordination and design discussions
• An understanding of procurement, risk identification, and delivery processes, with a desire to grow leadership capability
• Experience supporting contract administration and contributing to commercial and compliance outcomes
• Sound financial and programme awareness, with the ability to track budgets and delivery milestones
• A professional, solutions‑focused mindset and commitment to quality outcomes

Why Join Bureau Veritas?

You’ll join a global organisation with a strong local Canberra presence, working alongside experienced professionals delivering high‑quality outcomes across a diverse project portfolio.

In the ACT, we partner with government, institutional, and private sector clients, delivering projects across:

• Health
• Community Infrastructure
• Local Government
• Commercial and Fit-Out

This is your opportunity to build a well-rounded career as a generalist Project Manager, gain exposure to meaningful projects, and play a key role in supporting Canberra’s continued growth and development.
