What are you going to do
As a Senior OT Design Manager - Electrical and Instrumentation, you'll be responsible for leading the design and delivery of electrical systems and SCADA architecture for infrastructure projects.

You will collaborate closely with project managers, design consultants, and operational teams to ensure all systems are fit for purpose, technically sound, and delivered to a high standard. Your leadership will extend to mentoring graduate engineers and fostering knowledge-sharing within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

You will demonstrate proven experience managing project design for infrastructure environments, including stakeholder engagement, technical documentation, and design compliance. You'll also be confident mentoring junior engineers and contributing to high-performing technical teams.
Candidates must be eligible for police clearance, drug and alcohol screening, and standard pre-employment verification checks. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and a commitment to safety, integrity, and design excellence are required.
What we offer
This is a 6-month contract role, commencing 1 July 2025, based in Leederville, offering up to $125/hour. You'll work within a technically strong, collaborative team on high-profile public infrastructure projects.
