A strong focus will be placed on coordinating project activities across multiple sites, ensuring all work is carried out in accordance with Powerlink’s policies, environmental and safety regulations, and cultural heritage commitments. You will actively support the development of delivery and construction strategies, identify and mitigate key project risks, and contribute to successful outcomes during both planning and execution phases.

Site presence will occasionally be required to support the delivery of construction and commissioning works, reinforcing your role as a hands-on contributor to project success. You'll also build and maintain productive working relationships with project teams, contractors, service providers, and external stakeholders, representing Powerlink in a professional manner.
