About the Role:

Are you an experienced Senior Project Manager ready to play a vital role in the transition of North Canberra Hospital’s ICT infrastructure?

The Hospital Projects Transition Team was established to deliver the transition of Calvary Public Hospital Bruce to North Canberra Hospital (NCH). The team is now implementing the Post Acquisition Plan to finalise transition activities and integrate NCH with CHS.

As part of this team, you will focus on supporting key transition activities for NCH ICT infrastructure and applications as they move onto the ACT Government network.

In this role, you will apply your project management expertise to prepare and coordinate executive-level briefs, minute reports, and correspondence on complex issues. You will engage, communicate, and build strong networks with a broad range of ICT and business stakeholders. Working collaboratively within the team, you will provide leadership and guidance to drive efficiency and ensure the project’s success.

We are seeking a candidate with excellent written and verbal communication skills who can confidently represent the Directorate in negotiations and interactions across government, as well as with internal and external stakeholders. You will thrive in a busy, fast-paced environment, managing multiple deadlines while delivering high-quality work and contributing positively to team culture.
