Macneil Group was founded with a clear vision: to build a company on expertise, integrity and trust. From the beginning, the business has grown on word of mouth, repeat clients and relationships that outlast any single build. Clients come back, and they bring others with them. That’s earned Macneil Group a rare position in the market, working across commercial, residential, investor led developments to healthcare, industrial and government projects.
Due to continued growth, an opportunity exists for a Project Manager to take ownership of Macneil Group’s commercial builds, from enquiry through to handover. This isn’t a role where you manage from a distance. You’ll be in the room from initial concept, staying close through design and into construction, building the kind of trust with clients that keeps them coming back. You’ll work closely with on-site teams, subcontractors and clients, playing a key role in keeping projects on time, on budget and to the standard Macneil Group is known for.

A warm desk. Premium roles. Great brands. A recruitment career with more of the good stuff.
• Base plus commission
At Inspire HQ, we believe recruitment should be about more than filling jobs. It’s about building great relationships, understanding what makes a business tick, and connecting talented people with opportunities where they can genuinely thrive.
We’re a Ballarat-based recruitment and HR agency, working with some of the region’s most respected and recognisable businesses. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our team and take ownership of an existing portfolio of clients.
This is a warm desk.
You won’t be starting from scratch or spending your days cold calling for business.
You’ll step into an established portfolio of clients who already trust Inspire HQ with their recruitment needs. Your role will be to nurture those relationships, understand their businesses, and become the person they turn to whenever they need great people.
And the roles? They’re the kind of roles you want to recruit.

What we’re looking for
Ideally, you’ll be an experienced recruiter who knows what great recruitment looks like.
You’ll bring commercial nous, strong communication skills and the confidence to manage senior client relationships. You’ll be comfortable running a desk independently, but equally enjoy being part of a collaborative team.
Most importantly, you’ll care about doing things properly.
You’ll be someone who:
Why Inspire HQ?
Because great recruitment starts with great people.
How you are supported matters just as much as who you’re recruiting for and the Inspire HQ team genuinely enjoys what they do. You’ll have a dedicated Talent Associate in your corner as well as leaders who are approachable and hands-on and a culture that values doing recruitment properly over chasing numbers for the sake of it.
This is a chance to build a genuinely fulfilling career in your own backyard, with a company that’s as invested in your growth as you are in your clients’ success.
If you’re an experienced recruiter looking for a role where the desk is warm, the clients are first class, the opportunities are quality and the work actually feels rewarding, we’d love to hear from you.

When Ballarat teenager Fiona Elsey lost her battle with cancer in 1991, her courage inspired a community to act. Inspired and motivated by Fiona’s determination, the community that had loved and supported her, created a cancer research facility in her hometown of Ballarat, in regional Victoria. The Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute (FECRI) is mostly dependent on the remarkable generosity of the Institute’s community of donors. It is because of their continued support that this most critical research into cancer continues.
A unique opportunity exists to join FECRI as their Community Engagement and Events Manager. Leading the Institute’s community engagement, fundraising, events and corporate partnerships, this is a role all about relationships and influence. In this part-time role, you will work closely with the team and Fundraising Committee to keep the Institute’s donor community engaged and its events running smoothly and sustainably.
Your work will help FECRI continue to make a world-class contribution to cancer research and maintain the trust of FECRI’s supporters to spend their funds wisely and efficiently.
What you’ll be doing:
• Planning and delivering community engagement and fundraising activities that bring the FECRI story to life
• Building and nurturing meaningful relationships with event sponsors, corporate partners and suppliers
• Coordinating the community volunteer program and keeping volunteers engaged and connected to FECRI’s mission
• Maintaining donor and community databases with accuracy and care, while making regular visits to current sponsors and building new relationships across the community.
• Bringing the Community Engagement and Fundraising Strategy to life through marketing and promotional activities.
Making a difference in this role requires:
• Experience delivering community engagement and running fundraising events with a genuine passion for seeing that work translate into real support for a cause
• Strong stakeholder relationship building and influencing skills – you know how to earn a sponsor’s trust and turn a first conversation into a lasting partnership
• Excellent time management and attention to detail, so that even when you’re juggling multiple projects, nothing about the experience feels rushed or overlooked
• Strategic thinking paired with hands-on delivery – you’re just as comfortable shaping a campaign from the ground up as you are out there running it on the day
Why join FECRI?
If you are driven by a purpose to make a real difference and want to see your work make a genuine, world class contribution to cancer research, you will feel right at home at FECRI. This is a part-time opportunity, 2 to 3 days per week negotiable, with the flexibility to negotiate your hours of work. You will love working with the FECRI team, who are a small but close knit, highly committed team with a great culture. Hourly rate negotiable based on experience, plus enjoy the benefits of not-for-profit salary packaging.
