About the Opportunity
We are currently seeking an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of electrical infrastructure projects across Victoria.
This role sits within the electrical, utilities, and infrastructure space and would suit someone with a strong background within the electrical infrastructure and renewable energy space.

While the title is Project Manager, this is very much a hybrid role that requires someone who can comfortably bridge the gap between project management and technical delivery.
You'll be working closely with engineering, commissioning, and site teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Projects & Work Scope
You'll be supporting the delivery of projects that may include:
  • HV substation upgrades and infrastructure projects
  • Renewable energy developments
  • Grid connection works
  • Electrical infrastructure upgrades
  • Commissioning and energisation activities
  • Network and utility-related projects
  • Brownfield and greenfield electrical works
The role will require someone who understands project delivery from both a management and technical perspective, including how engineering, construction, testing, and commissioning activities all come together.
 
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead project delivery activities from initiation through to completion
  • Coordinate engineers, contractors, commissioning teams, and stakeholders
  • Manage project schedules, costs, risks, and reporting
  • Support commissioning and project handover activities
  • Work closely with site delivery and engineering teams to resolve technical challenges
  • Ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget
  • Manage stakeholder communication across clients, suppliers, and internal teams
  • Assist with procurement, planning, outage coordination, and project execution where required
About You
To be successful, you'll ideally bring:
  • Previous experience as a Project Manager, Project Engineer, or Senior Project Engineer
  • Experience within the electrical infrastructure and renewable energy sectors would be highly regarded
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Experience working across project delivery and commissioning activities
  • Ability to confidently engage with technical teams and understand engineering challenges
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused approach to project delivery
Why Apply?
  • Immediate start available
  • Exposure to major electrical infrastructure projects
  • Opportunity to work closely with engineering and commissioning teams
  • Diverse and technically interesting project environment
