Brisbane | 6–12 Month Contract | Major AI Infrastructure Build
We’re looking for an experienced Infrastructure Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of a major data centre build in Brisbane. This is a hands-on infrastructure delivery role — not software, applications or transformation. You’ll be managing a complex programme spanning compute, networking, storage, power, cooling, cabling and data centre facilities, working across internal engineering teams, vendors and third-party contractors.
What you’ll be doing:
- Own the data centre project from planning through to commissioning and handover
- Manage delivery across network, storage, compute and facilities
- Coordinate power, cooling, structured cabling and data hall readiness
- Manage vendors, contractors, procurement and infrastructure supply chains
- Own project plans, budgets, timelines, risks and dependencies
- Lead governance, milestone reviews, steering updates and change control
- Oversee infrastructure commissioning, acceptance testing and operational handover
- Work closely with technical engineering teams delivering production AI infrastructure
What we're looking for:
- You’ll have a strong track record delivering large-scale infrastructure or data centre projects.
- Significant data centre / IT infrastructure project delivery experience
- Experience across network, storage, compute and facilities infrastructure
- Strong third-party vendor and contractor management
- Understanding of rack & stack, cabling, power provisioning and cooling
- Experience managing complex technical dependencies and infrastructure deployments
- Strong stakeholder management and executive-level communication
- Experience within a hyperscaler, data centre operator or large infrastructure environment highly regarded
- Exposure to HPC, GPU or AI infrastructure would be a major advantage
The opportunity:
You’ll be joining a highly technical engineering environment delivering infrastructure designed to support the next generation of AI and sovereign cloud capability in Australia. This is an initial 6–12 month contract, with potential to extend as the broader infrastructure programme grows. If you’ve delivered serious infrastructure at scale and understand what it takes to get a data centre environment from planning through to production, we’d love to hear from you.
