Project Manager – Infrastructure

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.

Carla Underwood
Contract opportunity supporting complex defence aligned technology projects
We are partnering with our client to identify an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the delivery of a pipeline of critical IT infrastructure initiatives. This is a long term opportunity supporting a program of work that is already well underway and expected to continue for at least the next 12 months. This is likely to be a five year piece of work.

This role will suit someone who enjoys operating in technically complex environments and who can confidently lead projects spanning networks, cloud platforms and enterprise systems. You will work closely with internal technology teams, vendors and senior stakeholders to deliver infrastructure outcomes that support large scale operational environments.

The work is varied and meaningful. Projects are likely to include infrastructure upgrades, network improvements, cloud related initiatives and broader systems enhancements across a complex enterprise environment.

You will be someone who is comfortable sitting between technical teams and the business, translating requirements into clear delivery plans while ensuring projects remain on track across scope, schedule and budget.
This role requires strong technical credibility. While you will not be hands on, you will need a solid understanding of infrastructure environments including networking, cloud and enterprise systems in order to effectively guide delivery teams and challenge vendors where required.

To be successful in this role you will bring proven experience delivering technical infrastructure projects within large or complex organisations. Experience working in defence aligned, engineering or highly regulated environments will be highly regarded.

You will also bring strong stakeholder management capability and the confidence to work with senior leaders while maintaining momentum across technical delivery teams.

Because of the nature of the environment, applicants must be Australian Citizens with the ability to obtain NV1 Defence security clearance.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong Project Manager to step into a long term program of work where you can make a genuine impact while working with experienced technology professionals.

If you are an infrastructure focused Project Manager who enjoys complex technical environments and delivering meaningful outcomes, we would welcome a confidential discussion.
