The Opportunity
At APA, our purpose is to secure Australia’s energy future. We’re not doing it alone. We’re doing it with our customers and communities as Australia’s energy infrastructure partner, a role our unique experience and expertise positions us to play.

Working within one of APA's most significant business and technology transformation programs, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of multiple workstreams, ensuring milestones are achieved, dependencies are managed and teams remain focused on execution.
This role is ideal for a delivery-focused project professional who thrives in complex environments, can quickly establish credibility and enjoys bringing together business, technology and vendor teams to achieve outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead delivery across multiple GSP value streams, ensuring milestones, dependencies and deliverables are achieved on time and to the required quality standards.
- Drive delivery from requirements clarification through design, build and system testing, maintaining visibility of risks, issues and critical path activities.
- Taking a strongly people centric approach, coordinate cross-functional resources, balancing priorities, capacity and competing demands to maintain delivery momentum.
- Partner closely with business stakeholders, technology teams and external delivery partners to ensure alignment and timely decision-making.
- Proactively identify, manage and escalate risks, issues and blockers, providing clear recommendations and recovery actions where required.
- Maintain governance artefacts, delivery plans and status reporting, ensuring scope changes and impacts are understood, documented and effectively managed.
Your Background
- Proven experience delivering complex technology, digital transformation or enterprise system implementation projects within large organisations.
- Demonstrated success managing multiple workstreams or project streams concurrently within a broader program environment.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across business, technology, delivery partners and vendors.
- Experience managing requirements, dependencies, delivery risks, testing activities and implementation readiness.
- A structured, organised and pragmatic approach, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, competing priorities and tight delivery timelines.
- Experience within energy, utilities, infrastructure or other highly regulated industries will be highly regarded.
