CPB Contractors is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major data centre project in Melbourne, supporting hyperscale and enterprise clients driving the next wave of digital and AI-enabled growth.

This is not a maintenance role. You will drive construction, MEP integration and commissioning across a complex, high value build, leading large teams and setting the pace on programme, performance and outcomes.

The Opportunity
We are looking to connect with experienced project leaders who have delivered data centres or mission critical projects and thrive in high performance, fast paced environments.

CPB Contractors is part of the ACS Group, the world’s leading data centre builder, with more than 9GW delivered globally across the US, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Together with our global peers, Leighton Asia and Turner, we deliver mission critical facilities for major technology clients, supporting the infrastructure backbone of the AI economy.

The Role
As Senior Project Manager, you will lead the full lifecycle delivery of a hyperscale data centre, ensuring safe, efficient and high-quality outcomes.

• Lead end to end project delivery across time, cost, quality and safety
• Manage multidisciplinary teams across construction, MEP and commissioning
• Drive programme, sequencing and interface management across multiple work packages
• Oversee subcontractors and trade partners to ensure performance and alignment
• Manage key stakeholder relationships across client, design and commercial teams
• Lead delivery through testing, commissioning and practical completion
• Ensure strong governance, reporting and commercial performance
• Build and lead high performing teams, driving accountability and outcomes

About You
• Degree qualified in engineering, construction or related discipline
• Proven experience delivering data centre or mission critical projects
• Strong understanding of MEP intensive environments and building services integration
• Experience managing complex, multi package projects at scale
• Commercially astute, with strong cost, risk and contract management capability
• Confident leader with the ability to drive performance across large teams
