- Project management experience delivering overhead transmission lines and/or underground HV/MV reticulation, with a strong understanding of the interfaces between these works.
- A background with an EPC, electrical infrastructure or high-voltage construction contractor.
- Experience managing electrical infrastructure packages through planning, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover.
- Strong commercial awareness, with confidence managing budgets, contracts, variations and subcontractors.
- A practical leadership style, clear communication and willingness to work initially from Brisbane before transitioning to a North Queensland site roster.
