About the opportunity:

We seek a  Client-Side Assistant Project Manager  to join our client side, Defence Works, located on our head office in Adelaide.

You’ll work side-by-side with the project delivery team to ensure the success of projects — from its pre-design phase to its completion. You’ll assemble and lead various project teams, monitoring the teams’ performance and bringing out the best in every team member. We achieve our biggest success when working together, so clear communication is key, as is collaboration and teamwork. You’re also in charge of creating the teams' organisational structure, project objectives and working procedures. 

Your project management skills will also be of great value as you set up clear project cost plans and allot a sufficient budget to achieve optimal results and meet the company’s target profits. A structured and organised approach with an eye for detail is crucial. Also, part of your job is to attend project meetings as required, develop monthly reports and carry out contract administration. Furthermore, you’ll oversee negotiations, analyses and promotions of quality control systems. 

Core to our reputation is our strong focus on health & safety and on sustainability, and you’ll be expected to keep these front of mind at all times.

Boosting client relationships

Helping clients achieve success is what JLL does best—and your role is an extension of this tradition. To effectively help our clients, you’ll identify their needs and constraints and work around these challenges. Of course, as you represent our client’s best interests, you’ll also keep in mind JLL’s own business needs—thereby striving to achieve an ideal balance between the two. 

You’ll need to work well with various stakeholders, leading from the front while also taking the time to understand their points of view. You also have to effectively represent our clients throughout the whole duration of the projects. Do you have an enormous talent for promotion? If so, this is the perfect job for you, as you’ll also represent and promote the company throughout the project.
