Project Manager - Mechanical 

We’re working with a large industrial/chemicals manufacturing business. With a mix of automated production lines and complex process systems, the site manages a wide range of capital works, continuous improvement, and reliability projects, including work in hazardous environments.

Right now, they’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Project Manager on a permanent basis to take the lead on several key upgrades and installations across the plant. This includes a major $5M filling line installation as well as managing a portfolio of smaller mechanical projects ($500k–$1M) at any one time.

You’ll take projects from concept through to commissioning — scoping, managing contractors, driving timelines, and making sure everything is delivered safely and efficiently. The environment is fast-moving and safety-focused, so the ability to work collaboratively with engineering, operations, and maintenance teams is key.
 
Requirements:
  • Strong mechanical project management background within manufacturing, industrial, or process plant environments
  • Experience delivering equipment installation projects ($1M–$5M).
  • Ability to engage with engineers, trades, and senior leaders confidently — someone who can “talk the talk” technically
  • Mechanical design skills, with experience using AutoCAD to design components or modify equipment where required
  • Exposure to chemical processing, hazardous environments, or similar would be highly regarded
  • A proactive, hands-on leadership style — not managing a team but influencing many stakeholders
Benefits:
  • A supportive, collaborative culture with strong leadership in place
  • Large-scale capital investment and a busy pipeline of future projects
  • Industry leading safety standards
