Project Manager role with leading electrical contractor

Your new company

With a strong backing structure and national reach, this organisation delivers complex energy and utility solutions including electrical design and construction, network relocations, substation builds, and communications infrastructure.

Your new role

As a Project Manager, you'll lead the full lifecycle of energy infrastructure projects-from bid and tender through to execution and closeout. You'll be responsible for ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and within budget, while maintaining strong client relationships and managing internal and external resources. This role also includes oversight of contract performance and proactive management of any variances.

What you'll need to succeed

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

  • Proven experience in project management within the energy or utilities sector.
  • Strong leadership in engineering delivery, client engagement, and contractor coordination.
  • Expertise in regulatory compliance, permitting, and construction oversight.
  • Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Business, or Project Management (or equivalent experience).
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to contribute to bid and tender processes and drive low-risk, high-value outcomes.

What you'll get in return

You'll be part of a forward-thinking organisation that values diversity, inclusion, and safety. Expect a supportive team culture, opportunities for career growth, and the chance to work on impactful infrastructure projects that shape communities across the country.
