About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex IT infrastructure projects across networking, servers, data centre and critical infrastructure environments.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong project management capability with enough technical understanding to confidently manage engineers, vendors, customers and other stakeholders through complex infrastructure deployments.

You'll take ownership of projects from initial planning and design coordination through procurement, implementation, testing, commissioning and handover, ensuring projects are delivered safely, professionally and with strong control around scope, schedule, budget and risk.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex infrastructure projects across networks, servers, data centres and critical infrastructure
• Develop and manage project plans, schedules, budgets, risks, dependencies and resource requirements
• Coordinate internal technical teams, field engineers, vendors, subcontractors and customer stakeholders
• Manage infrastructure deployments including switching, routing, firewalls, wireless, servers, storage and associated infrastructure
• Work closely with technical teams to understand solution designs, implementation requirements and project dependencies
• Coordinate equipment procurement, logistics, staging, installation, configuration, testing and commissioning
• Maintain strong project governance, including RAID registers, status reporting, change control and project documentation
• Proactively manage scope creep, variations and project overruns, ensuring changes are identified, documented and commercially managed
• Identify delivery risks and technical dependencies early and drive them through to resolution
• Manage projects within live, operational and business-critical environments where downtime and change must be carefully controlled
• Coordinate with construction, facilities, electrical and other trades where technology infrastructure forms part of a broader build or fit-out
• Provide clear and concise project reporting to customers, operational leadership and senior stakeholders
• Ensure successful project handover into operational and managed service teams

About You

You're an experienced Technical Project Manager who understands that successful infrastructure delivery requires more than maintaining a project plan. You can get into the detail when required, challenge assumptions, anticipate problems and keep technical and non-technical stakeholders aligned.

You'll ideally bring:

• Demonstrated experience managing complex IT infrastructure projects
• Strong experience with network infrastructure, including switching, routing, wireless, firewalls and related technologies
• Experience delivering server, compute, storage and data centre infrastructure projects
• Experience working within critical infrastructure, data centre, construction or highly available operational environments
• Strong understanding of the infrastructure implementation lifecycle, from design and procurement through deployment, testing and handover
• Experience coordinating multiple technical disciplines, vendors and subcontractors
• Strong commercial awareness, including budgeting, forecasting, variations and scope management
• Excellent risk, issue and dependency management skills
• Strong customer and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to communicate confidently at an executive level
• Ability to translate technical issues into clear business impacts and decisions
• A practical, organised and outcome-focused approach to project delivery

Highly Regarded

• Experience working within an MSP, systems integrator or technology services organisation
• Experience delivering greenfield infrastructure, office fit-outs, data centres or major site deployments
• Cisco networking experience or familiarity with enterprise networking environments
• Experience coordinating projects involving electrical, communications, racks, cabling, power, cooling or physical infrastructure
• Understanding of ITIL and operational service transition
• PMP, PRINCE2, Agile or equivalent project management certification
• Technical certifications across networking, infrastructure, cloud or security

What Success Looks Like

You'll be successful in this role if you can take a complex technical project with multiple moving parts and create structure, maintain control and drive it through to completion. You'll keep scope, commercial outcomes and risks visible, ensure the right technical resources are engaged at the right time, communicate clearly with customers, and make sure there are no surprises as projects move from design through to implementation and ultimately into BAU operations.
