Program Manager - Capital Works
An exciting opportunity exists for an experienced Program Manager to lead a high-profile enterprise transformation program within a large, complex organisation. This role is suited to a commercially minded leader with a strong track record delivering strategic initiatives, partnering with senior executives, and influencing stakeholders across the business.

Experience within asset-intensive industries such as utilities, infrastructure, engineering, construction, or major capital projects will be highly regarded but is not essential.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and deliver enterprise-wide transformation programs aligned to strategic business objectives.
- Partner with executive and senior leadership teams to drive business outcomes and organisational change.
- Develop business cases, strategic roadmaps, and governance frameworks.
- Manage complex stakeholder environments, ensuring alignment across multiple workstreams.
- Provide strategic direction across asset, infrastructure, and operational initiatives.
Key Requirements
- 10+ years' Program Management experience within complex organisations.
- Proven ability to influence executive stakeholders and lead large-scale transformational change.
- Strong business partnering, strategy development, and stakeholder management capabilities.
- Experience developing business cases and setting organisational direction.
- Exposure to asset management, infrastructure, utilities, construction, or similar environments is advantageous.
