Job category: Projects
Job location:
Sydney, NSW, AU, 2020
Job reference number: 108954
Employment type: Fixed Term Full-Time
Salary range: An attractive remuneration package
You may have been part of some big projects before, but this work is legacy-building.
You're looking to contribute to the transformation of the transport sector towards a greener and more sustainable future. You want to actively participate in shaping policies and initiatives that reduce carbon emissions, promote renewable energy adoption, and enhance the overall environmental performance of the transport network.
In this role, you'll:
be working on a high-profile Renewable Energy Zones Program, supporting the delivery of wind and solar generation across NSW in line with the Government’s Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023.
The Senior Portfolio Manager drives enterprise-level integration of planning, performance, and governance across the REZ portfolio, ensuring program streams (Initiate & Coordinate, Delivery, Operate & Enable) are strategically aligned, optimally resourced, and delivering against Government priorities. The role provides authoritative oversight, insight, and advice to enable executive decision-making and portfolio optimisation.
A key focus is to be the Steerco Secretariat and to manage governance, finance , interdependencies and sequencing across multiple workstreams, helping to optimise resources and drive efficient portfolio outcomes.
It’s a strategic role where you’ll provide clear oversight across a complex, interdependent program — identifying risks, improving performance, and enabling executive decision-making through strong insights.
This is a Fixed Term Contract until 31/12/27. The home office location is 231 Elizabeth Street however regional based candidates are highly encouraged to apply. It is embedded within the team’s established ways of working and supports collaborative delivery. Flexible hybrid work options are available to promote balance and productivity.
