Job Description

We've been proudly Aussie since 1837, always finding new ways to innovate in energy and essential services. Now, we're moving towards a sustainable future through electrification and investing in renewable energy-and we'd like you to join us. Whether you're on-site, in the office, or somewhere in between, you'll find opportunities to grow your career here. You'll work with a team that's passionate about powering Australian lives, in a culture that values inclusivity, respect, and learning. Help us create a cleaner energy future, and we'll back you every step of the way as you build your career.

As a Senior Project Manager, you'll lead complex, multi-stream programs that deliver significant strategic impact across the business. This role will specifically support our Energy Assets technology construction programs, driving the successful delivery of critical initiatives across our operational portfolio.

You'll be accountable for delivery of the technology stream budget and associated vendor engagements, with responsibility for prioritisation, scope control and key delivery decisions across IT, OT, Asset Intelligence and physical security domains.

Operating at a senior level, you'll shape direction in evolving environments, establish strong governance, and ensure delivery aligns to organisational priorities. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders to provide clarity, manage risk, and ensure benefits are realised across large-scale initiatives.

• Ensure alignment of delivery to strategic objectives and operational priorities
• Navigate ambiguity and shape delivery direction in evolving environments
• Establish and maintain governance frameworks, proactively managing risks and dependencies
• Build strong enduring relationships with senior stakeholders, providing clear reporting and strategic insights
• Own end-to-end project delivery, from initiation through to implementation across multiple initiatives
• Manage scope, timelines, budgets and interdependencies across programs
• Track performance against agreed baselines and take action to address any deviations
• Develop and mentor less experienced project managers

What you'll bring

• Experience delivering complex IT/OT integrated infrastructure programs, ideally within energy, utilities or asset-heavy industries
• Experience working in or with industrial or operational sites, with an understanding of safety, stakeholder complexity and delivery constraints
• Strong understanding of control systems, enterprise IT and integration, with exposure to data platforms (e.g. historian/PI) and asset intelligence environments
• Experience with physical security platforms (e.g. CCTV, access control) in industrial or critical infrastructure settings
• Proven ability to manage vendors and construction-driven delivery environments, coordinating across multiple delivery partners
• Strong stakeholder management across technology, engineering and operations, driving alignment across diverse groups
• Expertise across Agile and Waterfall delivery, with the ability to tailor approaches
• Demonstrated leadership in resolving ambiguity, defining scope and driving delivery outcomes
