We are seeking interest from candidates with the following attributes:

• A tertiary qualification in project management, engineering, or a related field.
• Significant experience in project controls, preferably within large-scale transmission or infrastructure projects.
• Expertise in scheduling software (e.g., Primavera P6, Microsoft Project) and proficiency in cost estimation and financial forecasting tools.
• Strong analytical skills and a strategic mindset for risk identification and mitigation.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective collaboration across teams

If this role sounds like you and you are excited to contribute to key projects within Tasmania’s energy industry we look forward to receiving your application today!
