- Project lifecycle management (planning to handover) mirrors his current Regional PM delivery model across ~120 sites
- Managing subcontractors, suppliers and multidisciplinary teams matches his current leadership of construction vendors and matrixed teams
- Commercial/financial/contract management requirements align with his ~$90M+ portfolio accountability and variations management

- Role appears more generalist electrical/technology PM rather than focused on mission-critical networks or public-safety infrastructure
- Salary not stated - needs verification it meets $140k+ floor given it's not a tier-1 telco contractor role
|
| Superloop · Sydney, Sydney Region · Permanent Full time · via Adzuna Superloop is ASX-listed telco infrastructure provider operating fibre networks, subsea cables, fixed wireless, and retail/wholesale connectivity services across Australia Verdict: Strong telco sector fit at a major Australian infrastructure provider, though role emphasizes order fulfillment and service coordination over capital project delivery and construction program management.
