Adelaide

Posted: 13h ago
Offer description

As a key advisor and leader, you will provide critical oversight for electrical capital projects. This is a hybrid role, allowing for a balance of remote strategic planning and essential on-site presence to drive project milestones and lead trade teams.

Key Responsibilities

* Expert Project Oversight: Lead the lifecycle of complex electrical infrastructure projects, from initial feasibility through to final commissioning.
* HV Technical Governance: Act as the subject matter expert for High Voltage (HV) systems, ensuring all works meet rigorous safety standards and technical specifications.
* Trade & Contractor Management: Provide direct leadership to site-based tradesmen. You will be responsible for coordinating daily activities, ensuring safety compliance, and maintaining high standards of execution.
* Strategic Planning & Scheduling: Develop and maintain detailed project plans, including resource allocation, risk registers, and procurement timelines.
* Autonomous Leadership: Operate as a true self-starter, identifying project risks and implementing solutions with minimal administrative supervision.

The Ideal Candidate

This position is ideally suited to a seasoned consultant who has "seen it all" in heavy industry and thrives in brownfield environments.

Requirements

* Extensive Industry Experience: A deep background in heavy industrial, mining, or metallurgical processing plants.
* HV Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge of High Voltage systems, switching, and safety protocols.
* Proven Management Track Record: Significant experience managing trade crews and multidisciplinary project teams.
* Project Controls: Proficiency in project management software and a disciplined approach to planning and budget oversight.
* Flexibility: The ability to commit to a casual schedule that fluctuates based on project demand and critical site phases.

Why This Arrangement?

This role offers the ultimate professional flexibility. It allows a senior expert to stay engaged with technically challenging, large-scale work while maintaining the autonomy of a casual consultancy.

* Hybrid Flexibility: Work from home for documentation, reporting, and planning.
* On-Site Impact: Direct the "boots on the ground" during critical execution windows in Port Pirie.
* Senior Autonomy: You are trusted to manage your own time and deliverables.
