The Central Package will be delivered as a Public Private Partnership and provides three-lane twin tunnels that will close the missing link in Melbourne's freeway network from the M80 Ring Road to an upgraded Eastern Freeway, reducing journey times and diverting heavy vehicles away from local roads. Up to 135,000 vehicles will use North East Link every day, reducing congestion in the north-east while maintaining local roads.

  • Oversee deployment and integration of building services with tunnel systems located within building locations including primary and backup control centres.
  • Oversee surface electrical activities including ITS in NEL's Primary and Secondary packages ensuring seamless integration with tunnel ITS systems.
  • Effectively lead and mentor a diverse delivery team of technical and site resources, fostering a high-performance culture that is inclusive, collaborative, and agile.
  • Direct all phases of building electrical systems through procurement, delivery, to commissioning and successful handover, including integration with other infrastructure components.
  • Oversee project financials, including budgeting, forecasting, and managing project costs to ensure fiscal responsibility and efficiency.
  • Champion digital project management tools and methods, leveraging technology for project tracking, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
  • Foster strong, cooperative relationships with engineering, construction, and operational teams to ensure electrical systems are integrated effectively and support the project's overall infrastructure.
  • Manage vendor and contractor relationships to ensure adherence to project schedules, budgets, and quality standards.
  • Ensure compliance with all relevant safety, quality, environmental, and regulatory requirements, maintaining a focus on sustainability and best practices.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate project risks, resolving issues that arise during project execution.
  • Advocate for continuous improvement, identifying opportunities to enhance system designs, processes, and performance.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with professional engineering registration or equivalent.
  • Over 10 years of experience in managing industrial electrical and communication systems, with a strong portfolio of successful large-scale infrastructure project deliveries.
  • Expert knowledge of Australian Standards, codes, and best practices related to electrical systems, particularly in tunnel and urban infrastructure contexts.
  • Demonstrated leadership and project management excellence, with a track record of leading multidisciplinary teams to achieve project milestones and objectives.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, capable of navigating complex project environments and building consensus.
