Employment Type: Permanent

 

An established organisation in the property and built environment sector is looking for a Project Manager to join its Gauteng-based team. This role is suited to someone with practical construction or property industry experience who can manage projects from planning through delivery, while balancing quality, cost, timelines, and compliance requirements. The position includes regular site-based work and close coordination with contractors and stakeholders.
 

You will take ownership of project delivery across multiple workstreams, with a strong focus on contractor management, site oversight, and ensuring council-related deliverables are met. Around half of your time is expected to be spent on site inspections and site meetings, so this role would suit someone who is comfortable working both on site and in a coordination capacity.
 

This is a hands-on project management role where success will depend on your ability to identify risks early, solve problems in a structured way, and keep projects moving against agreed standards, budgets, and timelines. You will also review and issue construction drawings and specifications and manage changes throughout the project lifecycle.
