Sub-Project Manager

The successful Sub-Project Manager will be working towards the system upgrades and replacements working as part of the Categorised Projects team. The team delivery has been established in Site Management Project Office to standardise delivery and solutions, and to translate these inefficiencies into opportunities by:

• Using a Categorised Project project management team dedicated to the delivery of control system related tasks and projects using a standard delivery model;
• Utilising a standardised approach to project initiation to ensure scope is defined and underpinned consistently and robustly;
• Removing non value adding activities such as multiple cycling through the sanctioning committees; and
• Retaining LFE within the project delivery team by feeding it back into the standard delivery model.

The existing Supply of Control System Contract has reached its limit against the committed scope and the Categorised Project team are working with the Commercial team to develop its replacement. It is anticipated that the new Supply of Control Systems Contract will be in place FY25/26 and will differ from the existing framework with the inclusion of installation scope.
