Location:  VIC

Salary:  $200,000 - $220,000

Availability:  2 weeks notice

This candidate is a highly experienced and professionally presented Project Manager with a 13+ year career spanning the Mining, Oil & Gas, Maritime, and Defence sectors. Throughout the behavioural interview process, he demonstrated a confident, engaging communication style, providing clear, evidence-based responses that reflect his depth of knowledge and leadership capability.

He offers extensive experience operating on the client side as a Senior Project Manager and brings in-depth knowledge of PMBok-aligned methodologies, regulatory compliance (including EPA Works Approvals), and project delivery within complex, high-risk environments such as refineries and brownfield sites. His project portfolio includes solids, liquids, and hydrocarbon projects, and he has shown a strong grasp of managing infrastructure under tight timeframes and evolving conditions.

The candidate excels in stakeholder engagement, project controls, and communication. He provided examples of rescuing overbudget, midflight projects by establishing clear communication channels, applying a structured KPI framework, and implementing traffic light reporting systems to monitor schedule, budget, and critical path adherence.

He has demonstrated his ability to lead both autonomously and collaboratively, taking ownership of full project lifecycles—from scoping, planning, and procurement, through to execution, commissioning, and handover. His strong safety focus, OHS&E awareness, and experience assisting in procurement and tendering further strengthen his ability to deliver value across a range of industrial sectors.

This candidate brings a proven track record in leading multidisciplinary teams, achieving project goals, and consistently delivering against stakeholder expectations in highly regulated and technically demanding environments.
