Ready for the Next Step?

We are also open to ambitious Junior Project Managers with strong electrical infrastructure experience who are ready to take the next step into a fully-flegded Project Manager position.

If you have strong technical capability, leadership potential, and experience delivering electrical projects within live operational environments, we'd love to hear from you.

The Ideal Candidate

You will be a practical, client-facing Project Manager who enjoys working in an environment where you can genuinely influence outcomes and take ownership of your projects.

You will have experience delivering upgrade and brownfield projects rather than large‑scale greenfield construction projects and be comfortable managing both the technical and commercial aspects of project delivery.

Candidates with backgrounds in critical infrastructure, healthcare, education, telecommunications, utilities, power generation, or data centres will be highly regarded.

This role suits someone who enjoys autonomy, direct client interaction, and the ability to make decisions without excessive layers of corporate bureaucracy.

Company Culture

This is a business known for strong staff retention, long-term careers, and a collaborative team environment.

Employees are trusted to take ownership of their projects, work directly with clients, and contribute to the ongoing growth of the business. The leadership team is approachable, supportive, and focused on creating an environment where people can build long‑term careers.

What's on Offer?

• $150,000 + Super

• Strong pipeline of secured work
• Stable and growing business
• Direct access to senior leadership
