Lead the electrical construction delivery of a major Western Sydney data centre project on a senior, site-base
Your new company
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an international organisation delivering a major data centre development in Western Sydney.
Working within a highly experienced project team, you will operate in a client-side capacity, helping oversee the electrical construction delivery of a large, technically complex mission-critical project.
Your new role
As the Electrical Construction Manager, you will take a leading role in the safe and successful delivery of electrical construction activities on site.
You will oversee electrical contractors, monitor construction progress and programme, manage quality and compliance, and work closely with the wider construction, design, HSE, QA/QC and commissioning teams.
Key responsibilities will include:
Managing electrical construction activities, contractors and day-to-day site delivery
Monitoring electrical installation progress against programme and key project milestones
Reviewing scope, project obligations, inclusions and exclusions
Evaluating construction methodologies and site execution strategies
Identifying and managing construction risks, issues and potential programme impacts
Working with design teams to resolve RFIs, design clashes and constructibility issues
Leading coordination and progress meetings with contractors and project stakeholders
Maintaining a robust focus on WHS, quality and compliance with relevant Australian Standards
Monitoring project schedules, construction progress and quality performance
Providing construction input into regular project reporting
Supporting QA/QC and commissioning activities throughout the construction life cycle.
Coordinating construction-to-operations handover
Monitoring substation procurement and construction activities, power-on milestones and utility interfaces
Building strong working relationships across contractors, consultants and the wider project team




These responsibilities align directly with the attached Construction Manager brief, including its requirements around contractor management, programme execution, construction methodology, design coordination, reporting, handover and substation/power-on activities.
What you'll need to succeed
To be successful in this position, you will ideally bring:
10+ years' construction management experience
Strong electrical construction and building services experience
Experience managing contractors and major construction packages
Strong understanding of MEP interfaces and multidisciplinary services coordination
Knowledge of Australian Standards and WHS requirements
Strong understanding of construction programmes, quality and site delivery
Experience working with design, HSE, QA/QC and commissioning teams
Strong stakeholder and contractor management capability
Confidence identifying and resolving construction and constructibility issues
Proficiency with relevant project management tools and software
The flexibility to travel within Australia when reasonably required
Formal degree qualifications are desirable.
However, equivalent industry experience and relevant professional qualifications will also be considered.
What you'll get in return
This is an opportunity to step into a high-profile, technically challenging data centre project within a growing international business.
You will operate in a genuine construction leadership capacity, working closely with the client and delivery partners on a major mission-critical development.
For an Electrical Construction Manager coming from a contractor or head contractor environment, it also presents an attractive opportunity to move further towards the client side of project delivery.
What you need to do now
If you're an experienced Electrical Construction Manager with strong major-project, electrical services or mission-critical construction experience, I want to hear from you.
