Über diese Project Director Stelle bei Macquarietechnologygroup
The Opportunity
At Macquarie Data Centres, we don't just build data centres—we deliver the critical infrastructure that powers Australia's digital economy.
We're looking for an experienced Project Director to lead the delivery of some of Australia's most significant mission-critical infrastructure projects. Reporting to the Executive General Manager you'll take ownership of a portfolio of major capital programs, from design and construction through to commissioning and operational readiness.
This is a highly visible leadership role where you'll work alongside hyperscale customers, executive stakeholders, consultants and delivery partners to ensure complex, multi-million-dollar projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.
Beyond project delivery, you'll play a key role in shaping and maturing our Project Management Office (PMO), strengthening governance, reporting and delivery frameworks that will support the continued growth of our Data Centre business.
If you're passionate about delivering world-class infrastructure, thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy leading high-performing teams through complex challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
