Job description

Firmus Technologies

Firmus Technologies is a global leader pioneering the development and operation of efficient AI infrastructure across Asia Pacific.

Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting‑edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure - the AI Factory. Through our model‑to‑grid technology approach, we have pushed the boundaries of multi‑generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low‑cost AI tokens globally.

This role requires either relocation for 6 months to Tasmania with full relocation package or weekly fly in fly out arrangements to Tasmania for a period of around 6 months

Firmus AI Cloud

Our large‑scale GPU cloud platform, Firmus AI Cloud, is purpose‑built to deliver energy‑efficient AI compute at scale to customers.

It empowers developers, enterprises, educational institutions, and government users to train and deploy AI models with unmatched efficiency and cost savings. With an ever‑growing suite of services and applications, we are committed to delivering a cloud experience that is market‑leading, proprietary, and built to scale.

Why Firmus?

As an NVIDIA Cloud and Engineering partner in Asia Pacific, you will gain skills, experience, and exposure across the AI industry and be part of shaping what this industry looks like for decades to come.

We are founder‑led, not a big corporate. Decisions happen fast, our leaders are accessible, and there's minimum bureaucracy between you and the work. Ownership comes early. Whatever your role, you will have a direct line to outcomes, helping shape how the business grows as we scale nationally across a long‑term, large‑scale roadmap.

Work alongside founders and experts in AI infrastructure, energy systems and next‑generation compute.

What we build here has impact beyond the business. Our AI Factories are designed to operate as assets to the energy grid to actively strengthen the communities and regions they operate in rather than drawing from them.

Considering applying? You don't need a perfect background to join our team. If you're driven and curious, there's a path for you. We back our people to grow into new domains and take on challenges beyond their previous experience.

Role Summary

The Project Manager - Capital Projects (Launceston) is responsible for the delivery of the Launceston project within Firmus' Tasmanian capital projects portfolio. The role is responsible for the project end to end - from initial project gateway approval through to handover to the operations team - and for delivering it in line with the approved scope, budget, programme, quality and safety requirements.

The role reports to the Senior Project Manager - Capital Projects (Tasmania), who holds single‑point accountability for the region. Design, cost and schedule changes are identified, assessed and recommended by this role, and authorised by the Senior Project Manager. The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring no change proceeds without that authorisation, and that approved changes are implemented, recorded and reflected in the project cost report and programme.

Day to day, the role runs the project on the ground - directing consultants, contractors and vendors, controlling the programme and cost, maintaining safety and quality standards, and coordinating the planning, design, procurement, construction, fit‑out, commissioning and deployment activities required to hand over a complete and operable facility. The role sits within the Capital Projects Team, which forms part of the Development Division under the Chief Development Officer.
