Detail information about job Project Manager. Terms and conditions vacancy
Townsville is the capital of Northern Australia, and Townsville City Council is the largest regional council in Queensland. Our Council is undergoing a whole-of-organisation transformational change which will place our customers at the heart of everything we do and allow us to take advantage of exciting opportunities to revolutionise the delivery of services to a community of more than 190,000 residents. Council strives to facilitate sustainable economic development for our region, enhance quality of life for our residents, and identify and unlock the potential of our City through inspired leadership, co-design of services with the community, and sustainable and innovative business partnering.
The Infrastructure and Operations Division is custodian of over $6B in infrastructure assets across portfolios of: Transport, Stormwater, Open Space, Water, Waste Water, Waste, Cemeteries, Coastal, Buildings and Facilities assets. The management of these assets requires a large capital renewals program comprising hundreds of various sized projects annually. In addition, continuing growth of the city drives the need for new infrastructure or upgrades to existing infrastructure.
The Infrastructure and Operations Division employs dedicated project management resources within sections responsible for delivery of capital works: Infrastructure Planning and Assets and Fleet as well as Townsville Water and Waste. These teams hold specialist project management staff who are experienced and skilled in: project management and capital delivery, procurement, contract administration, risk management and various engineering disciplines relevant to their field. These staff apply project management processes and practice to deliver projects in the approved capital plan, as defined and managed by the Infrastructure Planning and Assets and Fleet section’s Program Management Office (PMO).
Project Managers plan and execute their projects, utilising both internal and external resources, while managing time, cost, scope and quality to deliver successfully against the agreed project objectives.
Project Managers contribute to implementing a holistic program of change across the Infrastructure and Operations Division in collaboration with their section leadership team and in consultation with the Townsville community. This will involve leading their respective section on a transformative journey focusing on the needs and aspirations of the Townsville community developing a culture of customer-centricity and personal accountability; and reshaping how we deliver services to maximise value.
Our ideal candidates will have:
- Associate Degree in Engineering or other related technical qualification.
- Diploma qualifications in project management, or equivalent.
- Strong experience (5 years) in project management across the planning and delivery lifecycle and within a structured project management framework.
- Experience (3 years) in capital infrastructure works (e.g. design, construction, procurement, contract management).
Closing Date: Thursday 19 July 2018
