Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Zinfra Full time

About Us

Zinfra is a leading infrastructure services provider dedicated to delivering exceptional solutions in the energy, utilities, and infrastructure sectors.

We pride ourselves on our innovative approach, technical expertise, and commitment to safety, quality, and sustainability. Our team of over 2000 members strives to exceed client expectations and make a difference in the communities we serve.

Our rapid Data Centre growth has led us to expand our project delivery team and embark on a decade-long pipeline of Greenfield substation builds. We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to drive our efforts in constructing state-of-the-art 66kV substations, valued at approximately $50 million.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Project Management: Deliver timely and within-budget construction of $50 million substation projects over two year periods.
  • Technical Leadership: Take a hands-on approach to project management, coordinating multi-disciplinary teams for project success.
  • Stakeholder Coordination: Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring all project requirements and regulations are met.
  • Compliance and Safety: Ensure all project activities comply with relevant safety and regulatory standards.

Requirements:

  • Experience: Proven experience as a senior project manager in distribution substation construction, managing projects valued at $50-100 million.
  • Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with standard project management methodologies, particularly PMBOK, and a background in distribution, transmission, or electrical engineering.
  • Hands-On Approach: Ability to take a hands-on role in project management; we operate with small lean project teams, where doing is equally important as delegation.
  • Certification: A white card is required, and a driver's license is essential. We will provide any necessary technical training.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Estimated Salary: $120,000 - $150,000 per annum, depending on experience.
  • A champion of equal opportunity employment, we promote an inclusive culture and welcome applications from diverse backgrounds, including First Nations Peoples, people with differing abilities, LGBTIQ+ community, gender, neurodiverse, cultural diversity, all age groups, and those with an intersectional or multiple diverse characteristics.
  • We offer meaningful benefits and rewards that work for you, including potential long-term career growth through our talent development and succession planning process.

Recruitment Process:

  • You will be required to undergo pre-employment checks, including pre-employment medical, reference checks, and a national police check.
  • Please note that Zinfra does not accept unsolicited resumes (or liability associated with fees or costs) from recruitment agencies, search firms, or third parties. Interested candidates may submit their application independently.
