Harry Hao

As a Project Manager, my expertise spans the full spectrum of project management, from initiating comprehensive procurement reforms to leading high-stakes rezoning proposals. I hold a Master’s degree in Project Management (with Excellence) and a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering (Hons), both from the University of New South Wales, providing a solid foundation for my professional endeavors.

Recently, I led a dynamic range of project management activities within the Precinct Development team at Property & Development NSW. My comprehensive responsibilities encompass the strategic oversight of contract lifecycles, from initiation to completion, ensuring rigorous adherence to compliance standards and transparent governance. I manage the financial aspects of projects, including budgeting, cost planning and forecasting, which are crucial for maintaining economic viability and supporting strategic funding initiatives - New Policy Proposal. My role also involves directing approximately 30 complex procurements, enhancing operational efficiencies across high-profile projects. Additionally, I oversee the preparation and execution of rezoning studies and submissions, addressing both technical and regulatory requirements to advance project development stages. Throughout these efforts, I maintain a proactive approach to risk management, constantly evaluating and mitigating potential threats to project timelines and objectives.

Previously, as an Assistant Project/Development Manager at Fridcorp, I contributed to the successful delivery of the Beyond by Fridcorp project, a landmark $700M mixed-use development. My responsibilities included overseeing financial feasibility, managing construction claims, and ensuring strategic compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

I am recognized by colleagues and mentors as a driven and detail-oriented professional who excels in challenging environments. My leadership extends beyond project deliverables to include training and development of new team members in procurement and contract management, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth.

I am interested in expanding my network with former colleagues, mentors, and industry professionals who are eager to exchange knowledge and explore potential collaborations.
