Outage/Mechanical Projects Manager – Power Generation
We're partnering with a Tier 1 global engineering organisation that delivers complex maintenance, upgrade and outage projects across Australia's power generation sector.
Due to continued project demand, we're seeking an experienced Outage Delivery Manager to lead a team of Project Managers, Site Managers and Engineers responsible for delivering mechanical projects on critical rotating plant.
This isn't a role for someone who's become removed from delivery. We're looking for a technically credible leader who understands what it takes to deliver outages safely, commercially and on schedule.

Reporting to the Head of Projects, you'll oversee a portfolio of mechanical project delivery activities while supporting and mentoring a team of experienced project professionals.
Responsibilities include

- Driving project governance and continuous improvement
- Building strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
- Supporting successful project delivery from planning through execution
About you We're interested in professionals who have built their careers around large rotating equipment within the power generation or heavy industrial sectors.
You'll likely have experience with:
- Steam, gas or hydro turbines
- Generators and associated rotating plant
- Major outages, shutdowns or overhauls
- Mechanical project delivery
- Managing contractors, labour and site execution
- Commercial and financial management of projects
Leadership experience is key, however your technical credibility and ability to support experienced Project Managers is what will set you apart. We'd love to hear from people currently working within:
- Power generation
- OEMs
- Mechanical maintenance contractors
- Major outage or shutdown delivery
- Heavy industrial project environments
What's on offer

- Leadership role with exposure to long term, high profile projects within Australia's energy sector
If you've spent your career delivering complex rotating plant projects and are ready to step into a broader leadership role, we'd welcome a confidential discussion.
