Project Manager - Retail Fit Out

TheRole

We are seeking an experienced and delivery focused Project Manager - Retail Fit Outs & Store Development to lead the planning and execution of new store openings and refurbishments across our retail network.

In this role, you'll take ownership of projects from approval through to handover, ensuring each store is delivered in line with approved plans, brand standards, safety requirements, timelines, and budgets. You will manage multiple stakeholders, coordinate trades in live retail environments, and ensure all compliance, documentation, and permit requirements are met.

This is a hands on role suited to someone who thrives in fast paced environments, takes pride in structured project delivery, and brings a solutions focused mindset to complex retail construction projects.

AboutYou

You are a confident and organised Project Manager with strong experience delivering construction and fit out projects, ideally within retail or shopping centre environments. You bring a strong commercial mindset, excellent attention to detail, and a proactive approach to managing risk, cost, and time.

You collaborate naturally with architects, builders, shopfitters, trades, landlords, and internal stakeholders, and you're comfortable managing multiple sites simultaneously. You communicate clearly, document thoroughly, and take ownership of outcomes - even when projects become complex or time sensitive.

You enjoy balancing planning with on site execution and bring structure, accountability, and calm decision making to every project you manage.
