Senior Delivery/Project Manager

Perth Contract or Temp

Meet Carla, our Lead Recruiter and Operations Manager, who, after swearing she’d never work for a recruitment agency again, found her soul mate in the Sense mantra and has been an integral part of the team ever since. Carla has that rare knack for “getting it” while keeping things refreshingly down to earth, proving that recruiters are human too (who knew?).With a background in banking and finance, coupled with her experience running a recruitment business, Carla joined us to expand our corporate and technology recruitment family. She’s a creative, tenacious professional who values the potential of finding the perfect fit for both businesses and individuals. Having earned her stripes in finance and corporate recruitment, Carla has also caught the tech bug, driving our tech team and embracing the dark side with enthusiasm.Clients find great comfort in Carla’s extensive experience, after 15 years in the industry, she’s walked a mile (or more) in their shoes. There’s no one better placed to find the next pea for their pod, she is credited by her natural flair for building genuine relationships with candidates and clients alike, and while she’s figured out how far a block of chocolate can go in the office (spoiler: not very far), Carla’s also our office prankster. No screen is safe when left unlocked, and her talent for content creation and marketing spreads also to the creation of gifts and cards for the team and is rivaled only by the joy of receiving one of Granny’s knitted jumpers at Christmas.Despite her calm demeanor, Carla’s feet are always madly pedaling under the desk with the heater on. As a mother of five, she’s mastered the art of balancing a busy life and a bustling office. She has single handledly blown out the tea bag budget by 200%, we even had to instal a hot water machine to minimise her kettle waiting time.Voted “most likely to whisper to herself in the corner,” she embodies the saying, “give something you need doing to a busy person.” Carla is our operations guru, this partnered with the uncanny ability to fill a role before you can blink. She’s truly a keeper, always keeping us on our toes and brings a touch of joy to every day.

Some roles are about keeping the lights on.

This one is about reshaping how the business operates.
We’re partnering with our client in the utilities sector to find a senior technology leader who can step into a critical role during a significant ERP transformation. This is a backfill for a highly capable leader, so we’re looking for someone who can operate at that same level – commercially aware, delivery-focused, and confident engaging at an executive level.

This is not a role for someone who sits on the sidelines. You’ll be in the detail when needed, but equally comfortable influencing direction, challenging thinking, and ensuring delivery stays aligned to business outcomes.
The environment is complex, multi-disciplinary, and genuinely interesting. There’s a strong pipeline of transformation work, and technology is seen as a core enabler across the organisation.

What you’ll be stepping into
You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of enterprise applications and play a key role in the ongoing ERP transformation journey. This includes working closely with senior stakeholders across the business, vendors, and delivery teams to ensure outcomes are achieved, risks are managed, and value is realised.
It’s a role that blends strategy with execution. You’ll be leading teams, shaping delivery, and ensuring governance is strong, while still keeping a clear focus on business impact.

What will set you apart
We’re looking for someone who has operated at a senior level and brings a blend of leadership, delivery, and technical understanding.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale ERP or enterprise transformation programs
  • Strong background in applications, integration, and enterprise environments
  • Ability to lead and mentor multidisciplinary teams while driving accountability
  • Confident engaging with executive stakeholders and influencing decision making
  • Experience managing vendors, budgets, and complex delivery landscapes
  • A pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach with strong commercial awareness
You don’t need to come from one specific industry, but experience in utilities, energy, mining, or similarly complex environments will be highly regarded.
Why this role stands out

This is the kind of role people don’t often leave unless something genuinely compelling comes along.

You’ll be stepping into a position where:
  • The work is meaningful and visible across the organisation
  • The transformation is real, not just talked about
  • You’ll have the autonomy to lead, not just follow process
  • The business values strong leadership and clear thinking
It’s a chance to take ownership, influence outcomes, and be part of something that will have a lasting impact.

If you’re someone who enjoys leading from the front, bringing clarity to complexity, and delivering real outcomes, this is worth a conversation.
