Job Description

As Construction Delivery Lead, WDDP,



you will be responsible for the end‑to‑end delivery of Zerra's flagship Queensland hyperscale data centre campus — from design development through construction, commissioning, and handover to operations — with initial focus on the first leased building, extending to future buildings as they come online. Based at the WDDP project site near Dalby, you will serve as WDDP’s primary delivery lead on the ground, owning delivery outcomes for the campus — programme, cost, quality, safety, and stakeholder performance. You will work closely with campus functions across the PMO, Capital Project Controls, Design, Technology, Legal and ESG, and maintain a matrix relationship with the Director, Project Delivery, Australia to stay aligned with delivery standards and governance tools used across the Queensland portfolio. You will play a strategic and hands‑on leadership role — shaping delivery strategy for the campus, driving programme certainty, managing risk, and ensuring excellence in safety, quality, time and cost performance. Acting as the focal point between WDDP’s campus functions and on‑the‑ground execution, you will align project outcomes with business objectives and maintain transparent reporting to the Executive Project Director and senior leadership.

A key part of this role is ensuring that development programmes,



permitting pathways and delivery sequencing are translated into clear capital forecasts and funding inputs — enabling Finance and leadership to align project readiness with investment decisions. You will also champion the adoption of digital tools and AI‑enabled workflows to drive efficiency, consistency and scalability across campus delivery.
