About the role

As we enter an exciting period of growth, we are seeking a Capital Projects Manager to join our team based in Enfield, Sydney. Reporting to the Head of Capital Investments ANZ, this critical role will be responsible for project management and execution of major capital projects within Mauri across Australian and New Zealand.

Improving project management and portfolio management is a key focus for the business, and we will be looking for individuals who are prepared to challenge ways of working, bringing their own experience and ideas.

You will lead cross-functional teams as you take ownership of projects from start to finish, from feasibility assessment to project completion, collaborating and influencing at all levels of the business, with the backing of significant investment from the business. You will be responsible for developing and articulating thorough and aligned project plans, ensuring all safety and risk elements are identified and tightly controlled, establishing competitive but sustainable arrangements with suppliers, monitoring expenditure and conducting post-implementation reviews, all while ensuring stakeholder alignment and accountability throughout.

About you

To be considered for the role, ideally you will have an Engineering background and hold proven project management and project leadership experience. You will need to align internal stakeholders through effective communication skills, with the critical need of high stakeholder management and facilitation capability. You will have strong contract, contractor and consultant management skills, good contractual understand and commercial nous, and experience in creating and maintaining sustainable but competitive agreements with third-party suppliers. Desirable would be experience in bulk materials handling, civil works, compliance with regulators, codes, councils etc, and controls/electrical projects.
