Key Responsibilities
  • Devote approximately 40% of your time working closely with the Managing Director Australia, influencing the culture of our teams and building our brand recognition across the region.
  • Allocate the remaining time to Project responsibilities, including key account management, strategic pursuits/bids, and project delivery.

As a Technical Leader, you will be responsible for developing a culture of outstanding delivery and providing coaching and mentoring to our enthusiastic team. Your key accountabilities in the State Manager NSW/ACT position will include:

  • Fostering a positive and inclusive culture across our Sydney, Canberra, and Newcastle offices.
  • Providing leadership that inspires, unites, and influences our teams.
  • Coordinating and executing NSW and ACT market growth strategies.

This includes identifying new market opportunities, overseeing market-facing activity, and tracking performance to ensure our regional strategic objectives are met.

Key to Success
  • Building brand recognition across the region.
  • Focusing on business development.
  • Representing Beca in client and public forums.
  • Engaging with key clients, stakeholders, and market contacts.

You will be an advocate of our brand, our people, and our clients; your engaging style is essential in this role.

About You

We are looking for an individual with a reputation in one of our growth areas (Energy, Water, or Defence) and a passion for technical and project delivery. You will have an excellent networker, influencer, team player, and facilitator who enjoys working with a diverse team.

You will create a level of consistency locally among our leaders to support the delivery of the NSW and ACT plans and key initiatives. Importantly, you will connect with the wider Beca business to bring the best our company has to offer to our clients and communities.

As we move into the next phase of our Australian strategy, we continue to focus on key markets, particularly in our priority growth markets – Water, Energy, Defence & National Security. These are all critical areas for Australia that are expected to experience significant growth. This step change has created exciting new leadership opportunities that will give industry leaders the chance to be involved in solving some of Australia's biggest challenges.
