Job description

PLUS ES is entering an exciting new chapter. As it continues its journey as a leader in metering and data services, it is building smarter infrastructure solutions at the intersection of technology, service and sustainability, powering the energy and resource transition across Australia. This is an opportunity to help shape what PLUS ES becomes next, with a commitment to delivering the reliable, accurate data and insights a sustainable energy future depends on.

PLUS ES’s mission is to deliver smarter infrastructure and data to enable a sustainable tomorrow, and its vision is to keep innovating today for tomorrow’s energy challenges. Its values are Safety, Team, Customer, Innovation and Accountability.

About the Role

Bring complex projects to life, from early discovery and business case development through delivery, handover and benefits tracking. Reporting to the Business Improvement & PMO Manager, you will manage several projects concurrently within an established PMO, balancing scope, budget, time, safety and quality.

Based in Melbourne or Sydney, you will work with project sponsors, business teams, ICT, suppliers and customers on initiatives that may involve major investment, emerging technology or organisational transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define project objectives, scope, benefits and delivery plans with sponsors and stakeholders.
• Manage schedules, budgets, resources, procurement and contract administration.
• Coordinate design, build, testing and implementation, including systems and data dependencies.
• Control risks, issues and changes, maintain safety and regulatory standards, and report progress.
• Lead handover and hypercare, embed deliverables in operations and track realised benefits.

About You

You bring project management experience, typically two or more years, managing multiple projects in waterfall and agile environments. Utility project delivery experience is essential; electricity or water metering experience is particularly desirable.

You can build credible plans, manage procurement and risk, navigate interdependencies and communicate clearly with senior leaders, customers and delivery teams. A relevant business or IT degree, or equivalent industry experience, is desirable, as are technology-project experience and exposure to cloud, IoT or critical-infrastructure obligations.

Why Apply?

Take end-to-end ownership with meaningful autonomy and an established delivery framework. Your work will connect business needs, technology and operational change with tangible outcomes for metering and infrastructure services.

Please note: The successful candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete a criminal history check as part of the pre-employment screening process.
