Description

About the Company

We are Australia’s largest privately owned housing maintenance company, delivering essential maintenance services to Public Housing and Community Housing providers nationwide. Our work supports the upkeep of critical government assets, and our reputation is built on accountability, quality outcomes, and operational excellence.

We are proud to be a delivery partner for a federal government–funded initiative aimed at improving energy efficiency in social and affordable housing, administered by State governments across Australia. The program has prioritised insulation upgrades in some of the country’s most climate-challenged and remote communities.

To date, we have successfully delivered energy efficiency upgrades to over 1,500 properties across multiple remote communities, with a further 950 properties awarded for delivery through 2026.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of this important energy efficiency program. This role is responsible for managing projects from mobilisation through to completion, ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in full compliance with contractual and government requirements.

Reporting to the State Manager, you will work closely with internal project teams, subcontractors, government stakeholders, and tenants to deliver high-quality outcomes in often complex operating environments.

This role is well suited to a proactive, organised, and resilient Project Manager who thrives in high-volume delivery, understands maintenance and construction programs, and is motivated by work that delivers tangible social and environmental benefits.

  • Ensure all works comply with contractual, legislative, quality, safety, and environmental requirements
  • Lead and support project teams, providing clear direction, motivation, and performance oversight
  • Maintain accurate project documentation, reporting, dashboards, and completion records
  • Actively promote a Zero Harm culture and ensure WHS compliance across all project activities
  • Provide high-quality advice and reporting to leadership as required

Company Overview

The best housing maintenance service provider in Australia – it’s not just our vision, it’s who we want to be today. 10 years ago, we were an idea. What if there was an alternative maintenance service provider to the ‘big guys’? One that offered the business systems to get the work done right, and used local trades to do it. A decade later, we’ve proved ourselves with a real track record of delivering a high volume of quality maintenance services. We’re proud of the numbers: every day, we work with 1,600 skilled subcontractors to complete 300 orders. Naturally, we’re pleased with ourselves. More importantly – so are our clients. We now deliver maintenance services to an area 10 times the size of England. 10 times! Our business has stayed true to our first idea for scalability: we employ local trades to deliver the service and provide our established systems, training programs, safety procedures and quality accreditations to ensure consistency. Being big enough to deliver is about having skilled, qualified people who are ready when we need them to be. We can support our clients with rapid transitions, and still deliver the quality our clients expect from us.
