Ko wai koe | About you

Grow your Project Management career in this role where you will have plenty of scope for success.  You will enjoy being a trusted advisor, with a passion for project delivery and achieving client outcomes, across the technical requirements within the Power, Energy, and Renewables sector.  You will have the ability to lead and manage projects, building credible relationships across technical experts, clients, and contractors, with the ability to guide, collaborate, influence, and instigate project conversations to ensure delivery.  You will know when to encourage, thank, support and challenge teams, including having courageous conversations when required.

You will be energetic and passionate with a bias for action, known for working with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders to make things happen.  You will enjoy building relationships and understand key project requirements, leading people, and commercial acumen.  You will have current project management and delivery experience, with a background within the professional services or consulting sector being important for success. 

You may have run projects of different scope and scale previously and be ready to make that next step in the complexity, diversity, and scale of Power related projects you work on.  You will also be ready for increased responsibilities across the commercial outcomes of a project, with the desire to learn.

• Be organised, adaptable and able to think outside the box
• Have good inter-personal skills
• Be a great communicator; able to explain complex issues to a range of user groups
• Have experience managing project teams
