Project Manager – Utilities & Infrastructure Development
Brisbane | National Project Management & Development Consultancy

The Company
This national project management and development consultancy works across some of Australia’s most significant property and infrastructure projects, partnering with clients from the earliest stages of project development through to delivery.

With an established national team and a strong presence across the eastern seaboard, the business provides project management, development and advisory expertise across complex, multidisciplinary environments.

An opportunity is now available for a Senior Project Manager to join the Brisbane team, working on a significant utilities and infrastructure program with a strong focus on project development, planning and investment readiness.

The Role
This is a great opportunity for a capable Project Manager or Senior Project Manager who wants to move beyond day-to-day construction delivery and gain greater exposure to the front end of major infrastructure projects.

Working across wastewater, potable water, mechanical, low- and high-voltage electrical, and ICT infrastructure, you will help take projects from an identified business need through planning, feasibility, business case development, design, and ultimately readiness for delivery.

You will work closely with technical specialists, operational teams, consultants and senior stakeholders to define project requirements and establish the scope, budget, program, delivery strategy and investment case.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading the planning and development of multidisciplinary utilities and infrastructure projects
• Developing project briefs, feasibility studies, business cases and investment proposals
• Defining project scope, budgets, schedules, delivery strategies and measures of success
• Coordinating technical, operational, commercial and regulatory stakeholders
• Managing project risks, assumptions, constraints and interfaces during the development phase
• Leading consultants through investigations, concept development and design
• Preparing governance, approval and funding documentation
• Monitoring project budgets, forecasts, schedules and key milestones
• Providing project analysis, recommendations and strategic advice to senior stakeholders
• Supporting the transition of approved projects into delivery and construction teams

Foundation for Success
You will already have experience working across infrastructure, utilities, engineering or capital works projects and be looking for an opportunity to broaden your project development capabilities.

Importantly, this role suits someone who enjoys working through the complexity at the beginning of a project: understanding the problem, bringing stakeholders together, and establishing the pathway forward.

You will bring:

• Project management experience within infrastructure, utilities, engineering or capital works
• Experience coordinating consultants, contractors and multidisciplinary stakeholders
• An understanding of project planning, feasibility, scope development and governance
• Commercial awareness and experience managing project budgets and forecasts
• Strong written communication and the ability to prepare clear project and approval documentation
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and navigating competing priorities
• An interest in developing greater capability across strategic infrastructure planning and investment decision-making

This is an opportunity to build on your delivery experience while gaining greater exposure to project development, executive stakeholders and the decisions that shape major infrastructure investment.
