| Vinova · The Rocks, Sydney · 💰 $180k-$240k per annum · Permanent, location The Rocks/Western Sydney projects · via Adzuna Vinova—client-side role delivering major data centre developments in Western Sydney's critical infrastructure growth corridor Verdict: Exceptional fit. Client-side data centre construction manager role in critical infrastructure that directly leverages Josh's multi-discipline coordination (civil, structural, electrical, RF, fibre), $90M+ portfolio management, and complex infrastructure delivery from CCEP. Strong sector alignment and salary match. Why it fits Josh- Data centre construction is explicitly Tier 2 target sector; role involves complex electrical/mechanical/controls infrastructure coordination that maps directly to his CCEP multi-discipline experience (electrical, RF, fibre, microwave, civil, structural)
- Client-side delivery lead managing principal contractors and vendors mirrors his current model at Amalgamotion managing 3 construction vendors and matrixed teams across ~120 critical infrastructure sites
- Western Sydney data centre projects involve design coordination, procurement, commissioning, and handover—identical lifecycle to his current ~$90M portfolio delivery on public-safety network infrastructure
- Budget and commercial oversight, contractor performance management, and stakeholder coordination align perfectly with his 17+ years delivering major telco/critical infrastructure programs for blue-chip clients
Watch-outs- Role emphasises data centre-specific systems (redundancy, operational readiness for hyperscale) which he hasn't directly delivered, though his critical communications infrastructure background transfers well
- Client-side role may expect deep familiarity with data centre standards (Uptime Institute tiers, cooling/power density) that aren't explicitly in his telco/PSN background

| Senior Client-Side Data Centre Construction Lead Vinova · The Rocks, Sydney · 💰 $180k - $240k per annum · Permanent, location: The Rocks/Western Sydney · via Adzuna Vinova - recruitment/consulting firm placing for a major data centre client-side program in Western Sydney (likely hyperscale campus development) Verdict: Excellent match - senior client-side data centre construction lead role in Western Sydney aligns strongly with Josh's multi-discipline infrastructure delivery experience from CCEP, transferable M&E coordination skills, and proven ability managing major capital programs through design, construction, commissioning and handover. Why it fits Josh- Direct parallel to CCEP delivery model: client-side lead coordinating principal contractors, consultants and vendors through full lifecycle (design → construction → commissioning → handover) mirrors his current $90M+ portfolio management structure
- Multi-discipline coordination (civil, structural, electrical, RF, fibre) from telco/PSN infrastructure transfers directly to data centre M&E (mechanical, electrical, power, cooling) - same complexity, different asset class
- Proven track record managing major capital construction programs ($90M CCEP, $30M Nokia/Optus) with contractor performance oversight, commercial management and programme control
- Western Sydney location and client-side governance role suits his NSW Government stakeholder experience and preference for critical infrastructure delivery
Watch-outs- No specific data centre construction experience on CV - sector transfer from telco/PSN to hyperscale data centre requires demonstrating that M&E/services coordination skills translate
- Data centre-specific commissioning protocols (CRAH, UPS, generators, BMS) differ from radio/transmission commissioning, though principles of integrated systems testing are similar

| Data Centre Project Manager Ronin Dynamics · Sydney, Sydney Region · via Adzuna Ronin Dynamics—recruiting for large regulated Australian org running a data centre consolidation and migration program Verdict: Strong fit for Josh's technical infrastructure background. Data centre consolidation aligns well with his multi-discipline coordination skills (civil, electrical, M&E) from CCEP and telco rollouts, though physical IT migration is adjacent rather than core to his telco/critical-comms specialization. Why it fits Josh- Multi-discipline infrastructure delivery from CCEP (civil, structural, electrical, fibre) transfers directly to data centre M&E and physical infrastructure build/fitout
- Program-scale accountability (~$90M CCEP portfolio) matches the scale and complexity of a major data centre consolidation program
- Full lifecycle ownership (design, build, commissioning, operational acceptance, handover) mirrors the discovery-to-cutover scope described
- Large regulated organisation context aligns with his NSW Government and blue-chip telco stakeholder management experience
Watch-outs- Data centre migration and IT cutover management is adjacent to but not directly evidenced in his telco/RF/transmission infrastructure background
- Role emphasizes physical server/IT migration delivery; Josh's strength is telecommunications infrastructure rather than data centre operations
- Job description truncated—full scope, salary, and work type unknown limits complete assessment

| Data Centre Project Manager Ronin Dynamics · The Rocks, Sydney · contract, day rate, hybrid Sydney-based · via Adzuna Ronin Dynamics recruiting for large regulated Australian org doing full data centre consolidation program with executive backing and real deadline Verdict: Strong data centre infrastructure fit with excellent transferable skills from critical comms delivery, though Josh lacks direct DC migration experience and this role emphasizes IT systems consolidation over greenfield builds. Why it fits Josh- 17+ years complex infrastructure program delivery directly transfers - Josh managed ~$90M CCEP portfolio with multi-site coordination, approvals, construction, commissioning and operational handover mirroring DC lifecycle
- Multi-discipline coordination (civil, structural, electrical, RF, fibre, microwave) on CCEP and telco sites translates well to data centre M&E, power, cooling and network infrastructure
- Vendor management strength: Josh led 3 construction vendors and matrixed teams on CCEP; role requires holding vendors/integrators accountable to deliverables
- High-stakes cutover experience from live telco/RAN upgrades and public-safety network commissioning aligns with the 2am runbook and service continuity focus
Watch-outs- No proven major data centre consolidation or migration program leadership - Josh's background is greenfield/upgrade telco infrastructure, not decommissioning/relocating existing IT estates
- Role emphasizes servers, storage, applications, cloud and DR sequencing - Josh's experience is RF/transmission/network physical layer rather than IT systems migration
- PRINCE2 Practitioner in progress (Aug-26) but role likely needs it now; PMP mentioned as preferred credential

| Optical Network Developer for Global Data Centers Amazon Inc. · The Rocks, Sydney · 💰 $180,000 - $240,000 · Permanent (implied), The Rocks Sydney location · via Adzuna Amazon Web Services Core Networking team delivering optical network infrastructure for global AWS data centers - Tier 1 hyperscale operator. Verdict: Strong technical match for AWS data center optical network infrastructure delivery; role emphasizes hardware vendor collaboration and DWDM deployment similar to Josh's RF/fibre/microwave work, though heavier on scripting/automation than his PM delivery focus. Why it fits Josh- Direct alignment with data center critical infrastructure - Josh's CCEP experience includes fibre and microwave transmission systems supporting mission-critical public safety networks
- Optical DWDM network build and deployment maps to his telco transmission background (Vodafone transmission, Nokia RAN) and current multi-discipline infrastructure coordination
- AWS data center networking is Tier 2 target sector; vendor collaboration and infrastructure scaling align with his Service Stream/Optus vendor management and 200+ site rollout experience
- Salary range $180k-240k exceeds his $140k floor and current $205k package
Watch-outs- Role emphasizes 'Development Engineer' with Unix scripting and automation testing - more hands-on technical than Josh's PM/delivery management focus; unclear if this is a true Project Manager role or network engineering IC position
- Job description lacks clarity on team leadership, budget accountability, or project lifecycle management - may be more technical contributor than delivery manager
- No explicit project management scope mentioned; focuses on 'build, deploy, automate' which could be tactical engineering rather than strategic PM delivery

Borderline — worth a look (8)
Senior Project Manager — Navantia Australia Pty
Solid defence project management role with clear transferable skills from Josh's critical infrastructure delivery, but maritime/shipbuilding and autonomous systems/software focus are outside his core telco/comms domain. Would be a lateral stretch into defence rather than leveraging his strongest expertise.
Senior Project Manager - Network Transformation — SBS
Solid enterprise network transformation program at a broadcast/media organisation - substantial scope and budget authority, but media/broadcast sector is outside Josh's core telco/critical-infrastructure/public-safety sweet spot.
Facilities Management Lead — Cushman & Wakefield
Moderate fit – Transport for NSW client and multi-site infrastructure portfolio align with Josh's government stakeholder experience, but this is a facilities/asset management leadership role focused on building operations, maintenance, and contractor oversight rather than capital project delivery or critical communications infrastructure build-out.
Portfolio Manager — nbn
Governance-focused portfolio management role at former employer nbn - strategic oversight rather than delivery PM, but relevant telco infrastructure sector and Josh has direct nbn history (2014-2016).
Project Manager — JET Charge Pty
Legitimate infrastructure PM role in electrical/utilities space with site delivery focus, but EV charging is outside Josh's core telco/critical-comms/data-centre sweet spot. Transferable skills in managing contractors, HV/LV electrical works, and multi-discipline coordination, but represents a sector pivot.
Senior Technical Program Manager — Anduril Industries
Defence tech role managing autonomous underwater vehicle production programs - relevant as cleared-eligible defence infrastructure PM, but significant domain leap from terrestrial telco/comms to maritime autonomous systems and scaled agile software methodology.
Expressions of Interest – Design Managers (Data Centres) — CPB
Solid adjacent opportunity in data centre infrastructure, but Design Manager is a lateral/stretch move from Josh's delivery PM role. His multi-discipline coordination (RF, fibre, electrical, civil) and critical infrastructure experience translate well to data centre M&E systems, though he lacks direct hyperscale/colocation design management track record.
Director Level Project Manager - Water Infrastructure — AECOM
Adjacent infrastructure PM at a top-tier consultancy, but water/wastewater is a sector pivot from Josh's telco/critical-comms core. Director-level responsibility aligns with his $90M+ portfolio experience, though domain knowledge gap is significant.
