Job description

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges that are slowing cities down.

About the role:

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager for a 12-month engagement supporting the delivery of key initiatives within NorthConnex. This role will lead the delivery of roadside technology, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and supporting infrastructure projects aligned to NorthConnex's 5-year strategic roadmap. Working closely with project sponsors, stakeholders, and senior leadership, you will manage medium to large-scale projects from initiation through to operational handover, ensuring successful outcomes and the delivery of lasting business value.

What is ITS

Working in ITS means using cutting-edge technology, real-time data, and smart infrastructure to make transport networks safer, more efficient, and more connected. From intelligent traffic management and tunnel operations to connected vehicles, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure, you’ll help deliver innovative solutions that keep millions of people and goods moving every day.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of transport technology, ITS, and OT/IT infrastructure projects across multiple workstreams.
  • Develop and maintain project plans, ensuring delivery aligns with governance frameworks, budgets, schedules, and strategic objectives.
  • Manage project risks, issues, dependencies, and change impacts to support successful outcomes.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors, and delivery partners across technology, operational, and business functions.
  • Build and maintain effective stakeholder relationships, providing clear communication, reporting, and governance oversight.
  • Lead the delivery of roadside technology deployments, systems integrations, and lifecycle upgrade initiatives.
  • Oversee enhancements to Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) infrastructure supporting road network operations.

About You:

  • Proven experience delivering technology, infrastructure, ITS, OT, or IT projects.
  • Strong stakeholder management, communication, and leadership skills.
  • Ability to manage project budgets, schedules, risks, and multiple priorities.
  • Experience with systems integration, technology deployments, or operational infrastructure projects.
  • Exposure to AI-enabled tools, data analytics, and emerging technologies is highly regarded.

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application. 

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.  

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience – whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns. 

We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living with disability. If you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process, please contact us on careers@transurban.com.
