The Senior Project Manager will contribute to our broader organisational transformation by embedding structured project governance, risk management, and lessons learned across our portfolio of capital, transformational and service projects. Your work will shape how we deliver change across the organisation, ensuring every project aligns with our strategy, values, and community purpose.

This is a full-time, maximum term (12-month) role based at our Bowen Hills office in Brisbane. Some travel within Queensland and interstate may be part of your adventure. If you’re looking for a role where your work has a tangible impact, this is it.  Salary for this role is $130,000 - $140,000 plus Superannuation and Salary Packaging options.
