The Opportunity

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.

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.

• Exposure to end‑to‑end project delivery across design, procurement, and/or construction phases
