Project Engineer (Temporary Opportunity - up to 4 years)

In this role, you'll:

Join the Future Fleet Program where we have 2 exciting opportunities in the Rolling Stock delivery team, for Senior Project Managers.

The Future Fleet Program is a $12 billion NSW Government commitment to rebuild train manufacturing in NSW, including a new state-owned train manufacturing facility in the Hunter. FFP will establish a long-term pipeline of passenger train manufacturing and fleet replacement, beginning with Sydney's ageing Tangara fleet and extending to the Millennium, Oscar and Waratah fleets over the coming decades. This is a rare opportunity to help shape and deliver a generational program from its early stages.

 
In both roles, you will provide leadership, governance and strategic oversight to ensure project activities are delivered safely and efficiently. You will lead procurement readiness and delivery readiness activities, and develop and manage project plans, schedules, budgets and forecasts across the project lifecycle, from design and manufacturing through to testing, commissioning, fleet acceptance and entry into service. You will support technical development and design delivery, and drive operational integration and the development of maintenance strategies with operational and maintenance stakeholders. You will also manage external service providers and stakeholders, lead the development of contract scopes and commercial principles, and manage procurement activities for your work packages.

Both Senior Project Manager opportunities are temporary until 28/02/2030 with the potential to extend. You will receive an attractive remuneration package within the TSSM Band. You will have hybrid flexibility where you can mix work-from-home with office-based days. Positions may be located in Sydney or Newcastle.
