Company Description At NCS Australia, we believe in doing technology services better. Our commitment to quality, focus on people, and willingness to challenge traditional thinking set us apart. We partner with our clients and communities to make tomorrow together, creating an environment that prioritises innovation, collaboration and purposeful work.
Job Description We’re seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) replacement program—a once‑in‑a‑generation initiative to transform the way critical infrastructure systems are monitored and controlled across the state. The existing SCADA software has evolved over 25 years and is now being replaced with a modern, off‑the‑shelf (COTS) platform that will bring standardisation, scalability and long‑term reliability to operations.
You will lead a dedicated project team to deliver the end‑to‑end implementation of the SCADA replacement program, guiding it from initial planning through to successful deployment. This includes managing budgets, schedules, risks and vendor relationships to ensure the project is delivered on time, within scope and to a high standard. A key part of the role involves building and maintaining solid relationships with technology vendors, internal subject‑matter experts and operational teams across multiple sites to ensure collaboration and alignment. You will also oversee governance, reporting and stakeholder engagement activities to ensure transparency and that all objectives are met.
In addition, you will champion continuous improvement by promoting the use of best‑practice project management methodologies, tools and frameworks, ensuring consistency and quality across all stages of delivery.
Qualifications About You You’re an accomplished Technology Project Manager with a track record of delivering complex software or infrastructure programmes within operational environments. You bring structure, energy and leadership to cross‑functional teams and are comfortable navigating both technical and stakeholder challenges.
You’ll Also Bring
Strong experience managing large‑scale technology implementation or replacement projects (preferably in OT, SCADA or critical infrastructure domains).
Proven ability to manage multi‑vendor delivery models and complex stakeholder landscapes.
Exceptional communication, governance and stakeholder engagement skills.
Relevant tertiary qualifications and/or industry certifications (e.g. PMP, PRINCE2, Agile).
