About ComAp

ComAp is a global leader in smart control solutions for power generation. Our controllers and energy management systems run everything from single generators to complex hybrid microgrids, and you will find them in hospitals, data centres, mine sites and isolated network power stations across Australia and the Pacific.

ComAp Pty Ltd is the Australian arm of a Czech-owned, family-run business operating in more than 100 countries. We are a close team that values open communication, personal growth and innovation, and we back our people to take ownership of the work they do.

About the role

Based in our Brisbane office, the Project Manager takes end-to-end responsibility for the delivery of control system projects. You will manage projects from charter through to handover, making sure they are delivered safely, on time, within scope and on budget, while keeping customers and internal stakeholders informed along the way.

This is a hands-on delivery role with real ownership. You will work closely with engineering, sales and site teams, coordinate subcontractors and vendors, and apply ComAp’s project management methodology across a diverse project portfolio.

What you will be doing

•  Project setup: develop project charters, scope and objectives with all relevant stakeholders, confirming technical and financial feasibility.

•  Planning and scheduling: build and maintain detailed project plans, ensure resource availability, and coordinate internal teams and third-party vendors.

•  Delivery and control: manage changes to scope, schedule and cost through the formal variation process, and track performance using appropriate tools and systems.

•  Risk management: identify, analyse and manage project risks, escalating early with practical solutions.

•  Financial performance: manage project costs including labour and expenditure, and monitor results against plan.

•  Customer relationships: build strong working relationships, manage expectations and respond promptly to queries and concerns.

•  Safety leadership: make sure all project work complies with WHS legislation, Australian Standards and ComAp policy, including inductions, licences and SWMS/JSAs for site personnel.

•  Documentation and review: maintain accurate project records, meet contractual obligations, run project reviews and share lessons learned.

•  Team support: supervise and support graduates, contractors and tradespeople involved in your projects.
