We believe that diverse perspectives, inclusive leadership and equitable opportunities are essential to building stronger teams and better outcomes. We are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported and empowered to thrive.

Zerra is part of AGP, an independently owned investor and asset manager that develops and operates real assets across the energy, digital and real estate sectors.

Western Downs Digital Park Western Downs Digital Park (WDDP) is a master-planned digital and energy precinct in regional Queensland, developed and operated by Zerra. Planned across multiple delivery phases, WDDP brings together AI-ready data centres, energy infrastructure and a purpose-built campus setting.

Located close to major power infrastructure within the Western Downs Special Industry Area, WDDP represents a major investment in Queensland's digital future and an opportunity to help deliver the critical infrastructure supporting the continued growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

The Senior Manager, Quality and Commissioning owns quality assurance and commissioning for WDDP - the function that proves,



at the leased building now and at each future building as it reaches this stage, that what has been constructed actually performs to design intent before it is handed to a customer or to Operations. The role applies the APAC Quality Management System (QMS) and Commissioning Framework at project level: ITPs, NCR management, hold and witness points, Cx Level 1-5 testing protocols, IST/OAT, and formal handover criteria.

This role owns the WDDP commissioning programme, the quality assurance framework applied across all construction workstreams, and integrated systems testing (IST) for critical infrastructure, with authority to reject systems that do not meet activation standards.

Scope runs from warm shell through customer fit-out and handover for the leased building now in delivery, extending to each future building as it reaches commissioning readiness. The role works daily with the HV Utilities SPM and BaseBuild delivery teams on readiness sequencing, with the PMO Manager, Construction Delivery on programme integration, and reports functionally to the Director, Quality & Commissioning - APAC on QMS application, commissioning methodology, and cross-project lessons learned, while sitting locally under the Construction Delivery Lead for day-to-day project governance.





Success is zero quality defects transferred to Operations at handover - no failed IST/OAT cycles that blow the handover date, every NCR logged, dispositioned, and closed before its stage gate, and a documentation trail complete enough that Operations can run the facility with confidence from day one.

Safety Leadership (Injury & Incident Free)

- Own safety controls specific to commissioning and testing activities, including live systems testing and energised equipment work, ensuring all activities run under approved Cx scripts, method statements, and permit-to-work controls.
- Ensure all commissioning agents and vendors are inducted and briefed on WDDP site safety requirements before test activities begin.
- Enforce lock-out/tag-out and isolation discipline during integrated systems testing, and confirm HV switching and generator load testing are executed only by suitably qualified, authorised personnel.
- Lead pre-test safety briefings for every major commissioning milestone (power-on, load bank testing, IST/OAT).
- Lead incident investigation for any commissioning-related safety event, driving root-cause analysis and closing out corrective actions before testing resumes.

Quality Assurance & Commissioning

- Own the WDDP quality assurance programme, setting inspection, test, and sign-off standards - ITPs, hold and witness points - applied consistently across BaseBuild, HV/Utilities, and Fit-Out workstreams, in line with the APAC QMS.
- Review and approve GC and OSE ITP submissions, audit compliance throughout construction, and govern IST/OAT milestones against construction completion gates.
- Enforce zero-defect transfer to Operations: every NCR logged, dispositioned, and resolved before its stage gate is passed - nothing carried forward
