At Verbrec, you’ll work on some of the most exciting projects across Australia, delivering innovative solutions that power industries and communities; Verbrec also works directly with our client to influence the transition to renewable energy systems and decarbonisation. Help us as we become a recognised partner for a sustainable future while continuing to support the growth requirements in the energy sector.

With over 500 dedicated team members operating out of locations across Australia and New Zealand, Verbrec is an ASX listed company (ASX: VBC) providing industry leading engineering and operations services across the entire asset lifecycle, with a significant focus on growth into new and existing industries.

We take pride in our focus on safety, while driving a strong people-focused culture to make transformations toward a sustainable and smart future.

We are problem solvers

We are looking for an Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Program Manager who can do three things really well:

• Focus on delivery to Clients to continue building strong relationships and ensures the successful completion of key Energy projects across Australia
• Build a clear growth strategy for our E&I offering into high-growth markets (electrification, renewables, industrial decarbonisation, grid connections, BESS, instrumentation), and
• Convert that strategy into wins and delivery, through business development, proposal leadership, and program-level project management.

You will work closely with our discipline leaders and project teams to develop a healthy pipeline, lead bids, and oversee delivery across a portfolio of projects, ensuring safety, quality, and commercial outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Market strategy and business development

• Lead client engagement and early-stage shaping, including solution development, estimates, and delivery models.

Program management and project delivery

• Establish and maintain core controls (weekly reporting, risk and opportunity management, action registers, change management, and variation/TQ/RFI processes).
• Provide clear reporting to internal leadership and client stakeholders, and proactively remove roadblocks to keep delivery on track.
• Mentor and support project managers and engineers to lift consistency, client experience, and delivery performance.
