Project Manager - Melbourne

About Us 

pitt&sherry is an Australian employee‑owned consultancy. Since 1963, we have been delivering engineering and environmental consulting, advisory and project management services. We thrive on tackling challenging projects that enable us to live up to our vision: inspired thinking to embrace the challenges of a changing world. 

 We are proud to be Australia's most agile thinkers: we are engineers, scientists, planners, technicians, project managers and consultants and coupled with our multi-disciplinary offering, we deliver solutions that make a true difference to people and place. With seven offices throughout Australia, we are committed to remaining big enough to deliver and small enough to care.

The Opportunity: 

As a Project Manager at pitt&sherry, you'll be at the centre of project delivery, connecting clients, communities, and our multidisciplinary team of engineers, planners, environmental specialists, and designers. Your day might start with a client meeting to understand project objectives and challenges, followed by workshops with our technical teams to develop practical and innovative solutions to complex concept, design, and planning issues. 

You'll coordinate project teams, manage budgets and schedules, facilitate stakeholder engagement, and help navigate project risks and opportunities. From guiding the early stages of a development concept through to detailed design and delivery, you'll work closely with specialists across multiple disciplines to solve problems, balance competing priorities, and achieve successful outcomes for our clients. 

Whether you're preparing proposals, reviewing technical deliverables, leading project meetings, or collaborating with engineers and planners to unlock project constraints, you'll play a key role in shaping projects that make a lasting impact on the communities where we live and work.
