As part of its continued expansion, an exciting opportunity has emerged for an experienced Head of Projects to lead the national project delivery function and play a key role in the company's next phase of growth.

As Head of Projects, you will take ownership of the national project delivery portfolio, leading and developing an established team of five Project Managers across Victoria and Recent South Wales.

You will have the autonomy to drive meaningful improvements across project delivery, financial performance, resource planning and operational efficiency.

We welcome applications from experienced project leaders across the broader building services and technology infrastructure sectors. Previous electronic security experience is not essential.

Key Responsibilities:

- National Project Delivery: Oversee a portfolio of complex technical projects, ensuring successful delivery against scope, programme, budget and quality requirements.
- Commercial & Financial Management:



Drive project profitability through effective budgeting, cash flow forecasting, cost-to-complete analysis, margin management and financial risk control.
- Project Governance: Establish and maintain robust project management frameworks, reporting structures, KPIs and performance measures.
- Resource Planning: Manage project capacity, scheduling and resource allocation to optimise productivity and delivery outcomes.
- Risk & Change Management: Proactively identify project risks, manage variations and implement effective mitigation and change control strategies.
- Stakeholder Management: Build strong relationships with customers, senior management, internal delivery teams, subcontractors and external partners.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve project systems, processes and operational performance to support business scalability.

- Experience driving process improvements, project governance and operational efficiencies.
- Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage at senior management level.
- A proactive, decisive and solutions-focused approach, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

Importantly, you will be a strong people leader with exceptional commercial discipline, capable of driving performance across a national project portfolio.

While technical industry knowledge is valuable, your ability to lead Project Managers, manage project financials and deliver consistent commercial outcomes will be the key to your success.
