Given the size and importance of the project, we are looking for a professional with no less than seven years of ‘business’ project management experience.

  • Delivery-focused and pragmatic

  • Very comfortable working within a fast-paced, complex and ambiguous environment
Depending on your experience, the salary could be up to $165,000, plus an attractive benefits package. 
If you feel you could add value to this role, and this important role, we’d love to hear from you today!
