Requirements

We’re searching for a Senior Project Manager who thrives on complexity and delivers with precision. This is not your average project management role—you’ll provide strategic oversight and governance across a portfolio of major rental and large power projects, from a simple generator sale to the full construction of a power station. You’ll ensure standards are met, risks are managed, and outcomes are delivered, while guiding Project Managers and influencing stakeholders at every stage.

If you’re ready to step into a senior role—or you haven’t had formal management experience yet but have the capability and drive—that’s fine too. We’re looking for someone who can bring expertise, confidence, and a solutions-focused mindset to a dynamic environment.

• Analytical thinking and problem-solving ability, using data and insights to drive decisions and continuous improvement.
• Process improvement mindset, with experience standardising and optimising project delivery frameworks.
• Supervisory experience, with the ability to guide and coach Project Managers, ensuring projects are delivered according to plan and supporting them through complex challenges.
• Strategic oversight capability—you can see the big picture while managing the detail, ensuring projects meet safety, quality, and financial objectives.
• Strong commercial acumen, including experience with tender processes, contract negotiations, and maintaining profitability.
• Clear and confident communication, both written and verbal, to articulate complex concepts and drive alignment.
• Seamless Onboarding Experience: Start strong with our centralised induction program at our Mulgrave (VIC) head office, designed to set you up for success.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, able to influence and build trust with internal teams, external partners, and clients at all levels.
• Familiarity with project management tools and methodologies, and the ability to adapt them to evolving business needs.
• Risk management mastery, with the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across technical, commercial, and operational dimensions.
• Proven experience in project delivery across complex engineering or infrastructure environments, with a strong understanding of commercial and contractual frameworks.
