• Build strong, trusted relationships with internal teams, regulators and external industry partners to influence outcomes and enable successful delivery.
• Champion ElectraNet’s safety‑first culture, values and standards across all stages of the project lifecycle.

Success in this role comes from strong leadership, sound judgement and the ability to build trusted relationships with internal teams, contractors, regulators and industry partners.

Here’s what we’re looking for in our next Project Manager:

• Approximately 5 to 7 years of relevant project management experience in Australia.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects across the full project lifecycle.
• Strong knowledge of project management methodologies, tools and controls (e.g. PMBOK, WBS, critical path, EVM).
• A detailed understanding of health, safety, environment, development approval, land procurement, cultural heritage and sustainability considerations.
• Proven experience managing project risk and contributing to contract management activities.
• Strong communication, stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills.
• The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and make sound decisions under pressure.
• Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Business or any related discipline/ field of study.
• Experience within energy, utilities, infrastructure or regulated environments will be highly regarded.

If you’re motivated by purpose driven work, enjoy managing complexity and want to see the tangible impact of your projects on communities, then we’d love to hear from you!
