Project Manager - Remote Power

Role: Project Manager - Remote Power

Location: Perth, CBD

Salary: $154,000 – $164,000 + Superannuation + Extensive Benefits

Length: 12 Month Max-Term Contract

NES Fircroft is partnering with a major Western Australian organisation operating at the forefront of the power and renewables sector.

They’re a big player in keeping WA energised and are heavily invested in the transition toward a cleaner, modernised network. They are now looking for a capable PM to help deliver some significant off-grid and Stand-alone-power system projects in WA.

This role is all about taking full end‑to‑end ownership of high‑value works — making sure everything is running to scope, schedule, cost and quality standards, without ever compromising safety. You’ll be engaging with senior stakeholders, coordinating contractors, and keeping the programme moving even when complications come out of nowhere (as they do in construction). There’s a fair bit of schedule analysis involved, digging into delays, spotting root causes, and putting corrections in place before issues balloon.

Strong financial acumen will be key — managing both Capex and Opex, forecasting accurately, tracking performance and addressing variances early. You’ll also be preparing and presenting project status updates to leadership, so clear communication and a bit of presence will take you a long way.

Now, must‑haves:

• Experience in either the electrical or Civil construction industry is important for this role, given the scale and complexity of the builds involved.
• 5+ years project delivery experience.
• Frameworks such as PMBOK or PRINCE2 looked on favourably.
• The ideal person will be calm under pressure, confident negotiating outcomes, and naturally good at influencing and motivating teams.

You’ll be joining a business that’s genuinely people‑focused, with plenty of career progression opportunities and a strong emphasis on work‑life balance. The benefits package is good too:

• Flexible working arrangements
• Salary packaging
• Discounted health insurance & gym membership
• Award‑winning employee recognition programme

If you’re keen to be part of WA’s clean‑energy transformation — and fancy a role where your construction and electrical know‑how will actually matter — drop me a line. Happy to run you through the full brief and talk about where this could take your career.
