We’re looking for a talented Head of Project Delivery to build and lead the function responsible for delivering Expo Centric’s agency projects on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.
Sitting at the intersection of Account Management, Design, Production, logistics, and installation, you’ll create the structure, technical oversight, and commercial discipline needed to take approved concepts through to successful onsite delivery. You’ll balance creative ambition with technical feasibility, production capability, client expectations, quality, timelines, and commercial return.
At Expo Centric, we don’t just fill roles; we build teams that create extraordinary experiences. Every position here plays a key part in delivering projects that impress our clients and help our business grow.
You’ll be part of a company that lives by its core values: Courage, Curiosity, Selflessness, Judgement, and Communication.

- Direct projects across Expo Centric’s production network in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, as well as external partners, selecting the right delivery pathway based on capability, capacity, location, timing, cost, margin, risk, and quality.

- Maintain strong commercial oversight of labour, production, supplier, freight, and installation costs; manage variations and scope changes; protect project margins; and review profitability after completion.
- Improve capacity planning, project scheduling, procurement, reporting, and delivery processes, using clear project gateways and post-project reviews to reduce errors, onsite issues, cost overruns, and last-minute escalations.
