Project Manager

Harnest is the social and affordable housing arm of Mazzei Group, delivering social housing, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), and medium-density projects across Victoria and South Australia.

With a strong forward pipeline and long-term government and community partners, Harnest is focused on predictable delivery, quality outcomes and lasting social impact — building not just projects, but stronger communities.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of a portfolio of social housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) projects.

You will take full ownership of end-to-end project delivery - from pre-construction and procurement through to completion - ensuring outcomes are commercially disciplined, technically robust and socially meaningful.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of social housing and SDA projects

  • Establish and maintain disciplined cost, program, risk and reporting controls across multiple projects

  • Manage AS-based head contracts, variations, EOTs and commercial risk with confidence

  • Build trusted relationships with government, client, consultant and authority stakeholders

  • Mentor Project Coordinators, Contract Administrators and Site teams, embedding consistent standards and behaviours

  • Drive a culture of quality, safety and continuous improvement across the portfolio

  • Support resource planning, sequencing and performance reporting to ensure predictable outcomes

About You

  • 5+ years’ experience as a Project Manager within construction

  • Strong working knowledge of AS-based contracts, regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements

  • Commercially astute, with disciplined approaches to cost control, forecasting and risk management

  • Confident communicator, able to engage senior stakeholders and provide clear, balanced advice

  • A leader who coaches others, raises standards and builds systems that endure

Why Join Harnest

  • Join a values-led construction group, backed by Mazzei Group, with the stability and scale to support complex, long-term delivery

  • Work within a business delivering $100m+ annual turnover with a $150m+ forward pipeline

  • Lead meaningful, purpose-driven projects across social housing, SDA and medium-density that deliver tangible community outcomes

  • Be part of a fully integrated, end-to-end business spanning advisory, design and construction — enabling greater control, collaboration and quality

  • Step into a role where you are trusted to set standards, influence delivery models and shape how projects are delivered — not simply manage them

  • Work alongside experienced, grounded and approachable leaders who are actively involved and genuinely invested in their people
