Tier 2  (4)

7​/​10
Sydney Metro Planning Lead
Microsoft Corporation  ·  Sydney, Sydney Region  ·  Field-based onsite role (no hybrid/remote), relocation support provided, must reside within 50 miles of site  ·  via Adzuna
Microsoft Cloud Operations + Innovation team - global datacenter infrastructure delivery for Azure and Microsoft cloud services
Verdict: Strong data centre infrastructure planning role at Microsoft's cloud operations that leverages Josh's multi-discipline coordination and large-scale critical infrastructure delivery experience, though the focus is on schedule/planning specialist work rather than full end-to-end delivery PM accountability.
Why it fits Josh
  • Data centre construction EPC planning directly aligns with Tier 2 priority (Microsoft/cloud infrastructure); his CCEP experience managing ~120 sites across civil, structural, electrical, RF fits the multi-discipline coordination needed
  • Large-scale critical infrastructure delivery background ($90M+ portfolio, complex approvals, construction vendor management) translates well to datacenter EPC integrated planning and stakeholder coordination
  • Experience with remote/regional/alpine site complexity and construction contractor interfaces (3 vendors on CCEP) maps to working with General Contractors and cross-functional teams on datacenter builds
  • NSW government stakeholder management and public-safety mission-critical delivery demonstrates the rigor needed for Microsoft's cloud infrastructure planning discipline
Watch-outs
  • Role is specifically a Planning/Scheduler specialist position rather than full Project Manager accountability - narrower scope focused on schedule development, analysis, and predictability rather than end-to-end delivery ownership
  • Field-based role requiring relocation/residence within 50 miles of Sydney metro site(s) with no hybrid/remote flexibility - operational constraint for family situation
  • Planning/scheduling focus may be seen as a lateral move or step back from his current Regional PM accountability for $90M+ portfolio with direct P&L and site delivery ownership

Head of Managed Services
SBS  ·  Sydney, Sydney Region  ·  Full time  ·  via Adzuna
SBS is Australia's national public broadcaster; role oversees 24/7 broadcast playout, transmission and distribution infrastructure and managed service partners
Verdict: Strong operational/service management role in broadcast/transmission infrastructure at a national media organization, but shifts focus from project delivery to ongoing service operations and vendor governance—adjacent to Josh's telco infrastructure PM background rather than direct PM delivery.
Why it fits Josh
  • Broadcast transmission and playout infrastructure maps directly to his critical communications experience—both are 24/7 mission-critical RF/transmission networks requiring high reliability
  • Leading managed-service partners and contractor teams mirrors his current CCEP model managing 3 construction vendors and matrix teams across complex infrastructure
  • National transmission network operations aligns with his telco background (Optus, Vodafone transmission, Nokia RAN) and multi-site infrastructure coordination
  • High-consequence, audience-facing service environment parallels public-safety network accountability where downtime affects emergency services
Watch-outs
  • Role is primarily ongoing operations/service management and vendor governance rather than capital project delivery—Josh's strength is building/deploying new infrastructure sites, not steady-state operations
  • Requires senior leadership of a permanent multidisciplinary operations team and executive stakeholder management at a corporate strategy level, versus his field-focused project delivery leadership
  • Head-level role likely expects prior operations management or service delivery leadership experience; Josh's background is project/program delivery rather than run-state operations

Custom Engineering Manager Hyperscale Data Centre Solutions
Xapply  ·  The Rocks, Sydney  ·  💰 $180,000 - $240,000  ·  Permanent, location The Rocks Sydney (likely hybrid/onsite given data centre sector)  ·  via Adzuna
NEXTDC is Australia's leading independent data centre operator; role leads tailored fit-out engineering solutions across hyperscale, colocation and edge DC projects.
Verdict: Strong technical fit for data centre infrastructure engineering management at a Tier 2 employer (NEXTDC). Role demands multi-discipline M&E coordination and proposal/design leadership that align well with Josh's CCEP infrastructure delivery, though it leans more pre-construction/engineering than his current site delivery focus.
Why it fits Josh
  • NEXTDC is a premier Tier 2 data centre operator; role involves multi-discipline coordination (electrical, mechanical, civil) directly transferable from his CCEP radio-site buildouts (power, fibre, structural, RF)
  • Hyperscale and colocation infrastructure projects mirror the critical infrastructure scope and stakeholder complexity of his $90M+ NSW public-safety portfolio
  • Leading facility audits, capacity assessments and design documentation aligns with his full lifecycle site delivery (acquisition through commissioning)
  • Sydney-based role at a blue-chip infrastructure operator matches his geographic and sector targeting
Watch-outs
  • Role emphasizes proposal development, technical due diligence and pre-construction engineering rather than on-site construction delivery and commissioning—a shift upstream from his current hands-on site accountability
  • Custom Engineering Manager title suggests a heavier engineering/design function than pure project/program delivery; may require deeper M&E design expertise than his PM/coordination background
  • No mention of construction vendor management or operational handover, which are core strengths in his CCEP role

Manager, Customer Engineering
Xapply  ·  The Rocks, Sydney  ·  💰 $180,000 - $240,000  ·  Permanent, location: The Rocks Sydney (likely office-based given proposal/design focus)  ·  via Adzuna
NEXTDC - ASX-listed data centre operator, 17 facilities across Australia, building hyperscale and colocation infrastructure
Verdict: Strong technical fit - NEXTDC data centre role aligns well with Josh's multi-discipline infrastructure delivery (civil, electrical, mechanical, RF). However, this is a pre-construction design/proposal management role, not hands-on delivery PM, and requires engineering degree he lacks.
Why it fits Josh
  • NEXTDC Tier 2 target employer - data centre infrastructure directly leverages his telco/critical-comms experience coordinating electrical, mechanical, and multi-discipline trades
  • Managing technical proposals, facility audits, and capacity assessments across M&E systems transfers well from his $90M CCEP portfolio with RF/fibre/microwave/civil coordination
  • Multi-stakeholder coordination (consultants, SMEs, customers) mirrors his work with NSW Govt, vendors, and matrixed teams across 120+ sites
  • Mission-critical infrastructure focus (hyperscale data centres) aligns with his public-safety network delivery background
Watch-outs
  • Requires degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering - Josh has no completed degree, only PRINCE2/Diploma in progress
  • Role is heavily pre-construction (proposals, design management, RFP responses) rather than hands-on construction delivery/commissioning PM which is Josh's core strength
  • Expects 5+ years specifically in data centre or mission-critical design management - Josh's background is telco site delivery, not DC design consultancy

Borderline — worth a look  (5)

6​/​10
Expressions of Interest – Design Managers (Data Centres) — CPB Contractors
Solid sector match (data centre infrastructure) and relevant multidisciplinary coordination skills, but this is a Design Manager role requiring design leadership experience that Josh's CV doesn't explicitly demonstrate—his strength is delivery/construction PM, not design coordination.
6​/​10
Project Lead (Maintenance Baseline Uplift) — KBR
Defence/maritime sustainment project in Sydney with PM scope, but focused on maintenance baseline data uplift rather than infrastructure delivery. Transferable project leadership skills, though sector and technical domain are a stretch from telco/critical-comms.
6​/​10
Director of Electrical Infrastructure, APAC — Mission Critical
Strong sector match (data centre infrastructure) and seniority level, but this is a highly specialized electrical/MEP technical leadership role rather than a multi-discipline project delivery position—Josh's strength is PM'ing telecom infrastructure builds, not deep electrical systems design oversight.
5​/​10
Project Manager — Atturra
Managed Services IT Infrastructure PM at a technology services company - lacks the telco/critical-infrastructure sector focus Josh excels in, but infrastructure project delivery experience is transferable if the work involves network/data centre components.
5​/​10
Senior Design Manager - Highly Complex and Technical Projects — Bluestone
Moderate fit for data centre design management pre-construction role, but significant gap: this is a design coordination/ECI/standards leadership position requiring architecture/engineering degree and design management expertise, not Josh's strength in delivery execution and construction oversight of operational infrastructure.
