About the role
- Lead diverse construction and infrastructure projects
- Manage projects from concept through to completion
- Deliver lasting outcomes for customers and communities
Ready to lead complex construction and infrastructure projects that deliver meaningful, long-term outcomes? If you’re an experienced Project Manager who enjoys bringing together people, contractors and commercial priorities to turn plans into successful delivery, this could be your next opportunity. This is an opportunity to lead complex construction and infrastructure projects that deliver lasting value for our customers and communities. Working across a diverse portfolio, you’ll manage projects from early feasibility and business case development through planning, procurement, construction, commissioning and completion.
You’ll take ownership of project outcomes, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, contractors and stakeholders to keep delivery safe, productive and on track. With accountability for budgets, contracts, procurement, schedules and risk, you’ll balance commercial priorities with quality, operational requirements and long-term asset performance.
No two projects will be the same. You’ll navigate competing priorities, solve complex delivery challenges and create practical pathways that turn project concepts into successful construction outcomes. Some travel outside the region may be required as you support projects across a broader geographic portfolio.
- Position Description
About you
You’re a skilled and versatile Project Manager with demonstrated experience delivering construction or infrastructure in complex operating environments.
You understand the full project lifecycle and can confidently move projects from early planning and design through procurement, construction, commissioning and handover. Commercially astute, you bring proven capability in financial management, contract administration, procurement, scheduling, risk management and stakeholder negotiation. You can manage contractors and consultants, maintain control of scope and change, and make sound decisions that protect safety, quality, time and budget.
You build trusted relationships and lead diverse project teams through collaboration, clear communication and accountability. Comfortable engaging with technical specialists, contractors, senior leaders, customers and community stakeholders, you can translate complex information into clear actions and maintain momentum when challenges arise.
A qualification in engineering, construction management, project management or a related discipline will support your success. Above all, you bring sound construction knowledge, strong commercial judgement and the ability to deliver complex projects safely and effectively.
