Project Director

Project Director

Location: Sydney – Surry Hills

Lead the Future of Automation & Infrastructure

This is not a typical Project Director role. At TMX, you’ll be leading the delivery of some of the largest, most complex automated logistics and industrial facilities in the market  projects that are redefining how supply chains operate at scale.

We’re looking for a high-calibre leader who thrives on complexity, can bring clarity to technically demanding environments, and is motivated by delivering landmark, automation-led developments. You’ll sit at the centre of major programs, driving outcomes across strategy, design, commercial performance, and delivery while leading and mentoring a high-performing team.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Program Leadership & Strategic Delivery

• Own and lead large-scale, multi-disciplinary programs involving highly automated distribution centres and advanced logistics infrastructure
• Shape and drive end-to-end delivery strategies, from concept through to commissioning
• Establish and optimise complex construction and delivery programs aligned to critical milestones
• Build trusted relationships with senior clients, developers, and delivery partners, acting as a key strategic advisor
• Provide strong governance, resourcing direction, and quality leadership across multiple concurrent projects
• Lead and develop a team of Project Managers, setting the standard for performance, accountability, and delivery excellence
• Lead coordination across developers, contractors, automation providers, and specialist consultants
• Guide clients through the complexities of highly automated environments, balancing operational, technical, and commercial considerations
• Bring a holistic, end-to-end lens to every project — from strategy through to operational readiness
• A track record of successfully navigating technically complex, high-value projects
• Act as a trusted advisor to clients on automation integration, facility design, and delivery methodology
• Take ownership of project financial performance, including forecasting, budgeting, and commercial strategy
• Drive disciplined decision-making around procurement, cost, risk, and resource allocation

What You Bring

• Proven experience delivering large, complex industrial, logistics or automated facilities (e.g. major DCs, advanced manufacturing, data centres)
• Strong construction foundation, ideally with hands-on site delivery experience in a leadership role
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage high-performing project environments

Who You Are

• A natural leader with strong presence and the ability to influence at all levels
• Commercially sharp, decisive, and accountable for outcomes
• Confident operating in complex, ambiguous environments
• Highly collaborative, with a drive to build and lead high-performing teams
• Solutions-focused, forward-thinking, and motivated by delivering industry-shaping work
