Are you a senior Project Manager who thrives on delivering complex AMR and warehouse automation programs end-to-end?

Do you enjoy working within live operational environments, collaborating with vendors, IT and site teams to bring automation to life?

Are you looking for a meaningful role where innovation, passion and solving supply chain complexity sit at the core of everything you do?

Our Client

A global tier 1 automation and intralogistics leader is seeking an assertive, commercially astute and operationally strong Project Manager to lead major warehouse automation programs across VIC and ANZ.

With a strong pipeline of enterprise retail and e-commerce investments - including a $35M warehouse automation deployment in Melbourne - the business continues to scale its' Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR), AGV and integrated distribution centre capabilities across the region.

The Opportunity

You will own end-to-end delivery of large-scale warehouse automation programs - across AMRs, AGVs, Goods-to-Person systems, conveyors, racking and full systems integration.

Operating primarily onsite (75-85%), you will lead complex brownfield deployments within live DC environments, coordinating internal streams, external vendors and executive stakeholders.

This is a true senior delivery leadership role - acting as the primary client-facing authority across operational, technical and commercial workstreams.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end AMR and warehouse automation project delivery - scoping, planning, execution, monitoring and closure.

Own accountability for all project deliverables across AMR systems, software integration, IT & network requirements, conveyor and racking implementations.

Operate as part of a complex program delivery model alongside software PM streams, automation PM streams and vendor management functions.

Collaborate with clients and vendors to gather requirements, develop project plans and ensure successful solution delivery.

Coordinate cross-functional teams (IT, Operations, Vendors) to ensure seamless execution within live DC environments.

Manage project schedules, budgets, governance documentation and executive reporting.

Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, building trusted relationships and managing escalations.

Proactively identify and manage risks, lead regular project meetings and ensure compliance with governance and safety frameworks.

Step confidently into brownfield environments, managing change control and recovery where required.

About You

You are a strong, assertive and pragmatic delivery leader who thrives in complexity.

You will bring structure to fast-paced environments and are comfortable managing multiple stakeholders across operational, technical and commercial workstreams.

You communicate confidently at all levels - from site supervisors through to executive steering committees - and you take pride in delivering high-impact automation programs that transform distribution centre performance.

You Bring

Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science or a related field.

5+ years' experience in project and/or vendor management within supply chain or automation environments.

Demonstrated experience delivering automation, robotics, conveyor and racking system implementations.

Proven brownfield site delivery experience (greenfield exposure also valued).

Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional, multi-stakeholder programs.

Strong understanding of project management methodologies and governance frameworks.

Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement and relationship-building capability.

Strong analytical, problem-solving and multitasking abilities in fast-paced environments.

This is more than a project management role - it's an opportunity to lead some of the largest AMR and warehouse automation deployments in VIC and ANZ, transforming live DC operations within a global, innovation-driven organisation.
