Integration & Controls Team Leader

Integration & Controls Team Lead - Aviation Sector

Location:
Sydney

Salary:
$170k - $210k (inclusive of 12% superannuation)

Sector:
Aviation / Infrastructure Transformation

Reports to:
Portfolio, Program & Project Controls Manager

Team:
4 Direct Reports

The Opportunity

Our client, a major player in Australia's aviation infrastructure, is seeking an
Integration & Controls Team Lead
to drive governance, consistency, and maturity across enterprise scheduling and control practices.

You'll lead a team of highly skilled Master Schedulers and work across multiple transformational programs - ensuring that scheduling, baseline management, and integration frameworks are robust, standardised, and strategically aligned.

This role plays a crucial part in shaping how the organisation plans, executes, and reports across its complex portfolio of aviation initiatives.

The Role

In this position, you'll act as a governance and controls authority across all scheduling functions. Working closely with program leads, PMOs, and external vendors, you'll set the standards for how scheduling and integration are managed at an enterprise level.

Your key accountabilities will include:

* Establishing and maintaining
baseline and change control
across all projects

* Driving
integration management
across multiple portfolios and schedules

* Embedding
scope management and governance frameworks
* Leading the uplift of existing scheduling frameworks and best practices

* Championing standardisation and consistency across project schedules

* Providing oversight, quality assurance, and executive reporting on controls maturity

This is not a cost-control role - instead, you'll focus on governance, process alignment, and strategic scheduling leadership.

About You

You'll come from a
Master Scheduling or Project Controls
background, with deep experience in
Primavera P6
or
MS Project
, and an appetite for leadership. You understand how to influence, guide, and mentor senior schedulers who are embedded within complex, fast-moving programs.

Your superpowers include:

* Broad, enterprise-level thinking - not just program-level detail

* Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills

* A proactive approach to embedding best practices and structure in "chaotic" environments

* A balance of technical scheduling expertise and leadership finesse

Experience in aviation, defence, or large-scale infrastructure is highly regarded; however, we're open to candidates from other fast-paced, politically complex sectors who thrive on bringing structure and discipline to dynamic program environments.

Why Apply?

This is a
rare leadership role
at the intersection of strategy, governance, and delivery. You'll have the autonomy to shape enterprise frameworks, lead experienced professionals, and influence how some of Australia's most critical aviation programs are delivered.
