About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to take the lead on a high-profile infrastructure project that will enhance connectivity, accessibility, and long-term resilience for the community.

  • Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams including internal staff, consultants, and contractors
  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders, partners, and community groups
  • Present confidently in governance and engagement forums
  • Mentor and coach project managers to uplift capability
  • Champion continuous improvement and innovation in project delivery

About You

You're an accomplished project professional with proven experience delivering complex, high-value infrastructure or construction projects. You're confident operating strategically while staying across the day-to-day detail that drives successful delivery.

You will bring:

  • A degree in Project Management, Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related discipline
  • 8-10 years' experience leading complex, multi-million-dollar projects
  • Strong financial and risk management capability
  • Proven ability to influence across technical, governance, and stakeholder groups
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills
  • Proficiency in project management tools such as Microsoft Project or Primavera

What's on offer:

  • Paid birthday leave
  • Wellbeing leave and additional wellbeing perks
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Discounted health insurance

If you're ready to take on a high-impact leadership role and deliver a project that will leave a lasting legacy, we'd love to hear from you.
