IT Project Manager – Electronic Security

Salary: $37 – $47 per hour

The opportunity

Sector7 Security is looking for an experienced IT Project Manager to join our growing Christchurch team.

This is an opportunity for someone with a background in IT, infrastructure, networks or technical project management to bring their project management experience into the electronic security industry.

You'll take ownership of projects from initial scoping through planning, coordination, delivery and handover, working closely with customers, suppliers, technicians and management to make sure projects are delivered well.

The projects will range from Christchurch-based installations through to larger multi-site and national rollouts, with the opportunity to help shape how SECTOR7 manages and delivers increasingly complex projects as we grow.

What you'll be doing

You'll manage projects across areas including:

• Electronic building access control systems

• Electronic Security systems

• Data and Security network infrastructure

• Infrastructure upgrades and rollouts

• Server and technology projects

• Multi-site and national deployments

• Technology upgrades and migrations

• Commercial security and infrastructure projects

Your responsibilities will include:

• Understanding client requirements and defining project scope

• Developing project plans, timelines, budgets and resource requirements

• Coordinating technicians, suppliers, contractors and other stakeholders

• Managing project schedules, risks, dependencies and changes

• Coordinating site access, installation requirements and project logistics

• Managing communication with customers throughout the project

• Coordinating multi-site and national rollouts

• Supporting the technical team to keep projects moving efficiently

• Maintaining project documentation, reporting and project records

• Managing project handover and completion

• Identifying and resolving issues before they become problems

• Improving the systems and processes we use to plan and deliver projects

• Helping develop the project management capability of our growing installation division

This is a hands-on role. You'll need to understand what's happening on the ground, work effectively with technical people and be comfortable getting involved when something needs to be solved.

About you

We're looking for an organised, practical and technically minded project manager who enjoys taking ownership and making complex projects easier to deliver.

You don't need to have worked in electronic security before. We're particularly interested in people with experience managing technical, IT, infrastructure, network or systems projects who are confident working with both customers and technical teams.

You'll bring:

• Several years' experience managing technical, IT, infrastructure or systems projects

• A formal qualification in project management, business analysis or a related discipline

• Strong project planning, scheduling and coordination skills

• Experience managing risks, dependencies, resources and budgets

• Experience working directly with clients and technical stakeholders

• Experience coordinating or leading technical teams

• Good understanding of IT infrastructure, networks or technology rollouts

• Experience delivering migrations, upgrades or large-scale rollouts

• Strong communication and organisational skills

• A practical, delivery-focused approach and ability to take ownership

• Willingness to learn the electronic security and data installation industry

Experience with network infrastructure, cybersecurity, building access control, CCTV and other electronic security technologies would be an advantage.

Most importantly, you're someone who takes ownership. You can look at a complicated project, work out what needs to happen, bring the right people together and keep things moving towards a successful outcome.
