- Develop and manage project scope, budgets, schedules, forecasts and resourcing plans.

- Monitor project financial performance, including costs, margins, invoicing, cash flow and forecasting.

- Manage project risks, changes and commercial matters, identifying issues early and driving practical solutions.

- Coordinate engineering, design, project controls, procurement and other disciplines to support successful project delivery.

- Establish appropriate project governance, reporting, quality and safety requirements.

- Build strong relationships with clients and act as a key point of contact throughout project delivery.

- Support contract negotiations, scope development, project proposals and commercial discussions.

- Work closely with technical and discipline leads to ensure engineering deliverables meet project, client and quality requirements.

- Coordinate internal resources, specialist expertise, suppliers and subcontractors as required.

- Provide clear project reporting on programme, budget, risk, scope and overall performance.

- Support lessons learned and project close-out activities to continuously improve how we deliver our work.

- Contribute to the continued growth and development of WSP's Power & Energy business in Australia.

**Requirements**

- A tertiary qualification in Engineering, Project Management or a related technical discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.

- Approximately 4+ years' experience across engineering, infrastructure or project delivery environments.

- Demonstrated project management experience within power, energy, utilities or major infrastructure.

- Experience delivering transmission, distribution, substations or other complex electrical infrastructure projects will be highly regarded.

- A strong understanding of the project lifecycle, including planning, design, procurement, delivery, commissioning and close-out.

- Experience managing budgets, programmes, forecasts, project controls, risks and commercial outcomes.

- Strong commercial awareness and an ability to understand the relationship between technical delivery and project financial performance.

- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams, consultants, contractors and other project stakeholders.

- Strong client relationship and stakeholder management skills.

- Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving capability.

- A collaborative leadership style and the confidence to take ownership of project outcomes.

- A strong commitment to health, safety, quality and sustainable project delivery.
