Project Manager – Distribution
Who We Are
Zinfra is a leading partner in the design, build, operation and maintenance of Australia’s energy and utilities infrastructure. Delivering a $1B portfolio annually, the work we do is essential to bringing energy to our communities safely and reliably, while powering the nation’s energy transition. With a diverse workforce of more than 2,300, we expertly deliver our services across Australia.
At Zinfra, we know that delivering complex infrastructure projects isn’t just about technical expertise — it’s about people, relationships, and the kind of leadership that brings everyone along for the journey.
We’re looking for a confident, collaborative, and values-driven Distribution Project Manager to lead a diverse portfolio of Overhead Construction projects. If you’re someone who thrives on empowering others, building strong partnerships, and creating infrastructure that genuinely supports communities, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll lead — with confidence, care, and clarity:
- Inspire and uplift projects and programs from beginning to end — nurturing long-lasting client relationships and delivering outcomes that make a real difference.
- Balance people and performance — bringing strategic thinking to budgets, timelines, and team wellbeing, while staying focused on shared success.
- Connect with purpose — working closely with clients, councils, government bodies, and stakeholders to build trust and deliver on commitments.
- Lead with empathy — supporting, mentoring, and guiding multidisciplinary teams so they feel valued and empowered to do their best work.
- Drive project delivery with insight and integrity — overseeing business plans, budgets, and reporting with transparency and accountability.
- Prioritise safety and sustainability — upholding Zinfra’s HSE standards while fostering a culture of care and respect.
- Champion collaboration — setting clear KPIs, planning resources mindfully, and encouraging open, inclusive communication across teams.
- Bring your full self and expertise — using your knowledge in technical, commercial, and risk areas to design smart, scalable systems that support future success.
Experience:
- A background in Electrical Trades (Lineworker or Electrician), with real-world experience working safely and effectively on site.
- Formal Project Management training (Certificate or Diploma) with practical experience leading projects involving multiple stakeholders.
- A thoughtful, inclusive approach to risk, stakeholder engagement, and vendor relationships.
- Solid technical knowledge of engineering or construction, grounded in best practice and ethical leadership.
- A natural mentor — you’re someone who shares knowledge generously and helps others grow.
- Comfortable using Microsoft suite of applications (outlook, excel, project) tools like SAP, and confident navigating the commercial and contractual landscape.
- A current Australian Driver’s Licence and an understanding of key legislative frameworks impacting utility work.
- Proven ability delivering distribution or utility projects before — but most important is your ability to lead with clarity, compassion, and competence.
