Project Manager - Mobility

12 Month Fixed Term Contract

Location: Townsville, with travel between Ingham and Sarina

Wilmar Sugar & Renewables is seeking a practical, delivery-focused Project Manager to lead the rollout of tablets across our Sugar mills. This is a hands-on role for someone who can coordinate people, technology, vendors and site activities to deliver a successful mobility rollout across multiple locations.

About Us: Wilmar Sugar & Renewables is a leading player in the sugar and renewable energy industry, committed to sustainable practices and technological advancements. Our diverse portfolio spans across sugar production, ethanol manufacturing, and renewable energy generation, making us a key contributor to a greener future.

Role Overview: You will lead the mobility project to deploy tablets across our Sugar mills, working closely with site teams, IT, vendors and business stakeholders. The role will coordinate planning, site readiness, deployment, change activities, training and transition into business-as-usual support. Travel between Ingham and Sarina is required. You may also support other technology or business improvement projects as priorities evolve.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the end-to-end tablet rollout across Sugar mill locations, from planning and site readiness through deployment and handover.
  • Develop and manage the project plan, schedule, budget, risks, issues and dependencies.
  • Coordinate site teams, IT specialists, vendors and business stakeholders to keep delivery on track.
  • Plan and oversee site visits, device deployment, communications, training and change activities.
  • Provide clear project updates and escalate decisions, risks and roadblocks when required.
  • Build strong working relationships with operational teams across the mills and support adoption of the new devices and mobile ways of working.
  • Contribute to other technology and business improvement projects as needed.

Requirements:

  • Experience delivering projects in a corporate, industrial or multi-site environment.
  • Strong planning, coordination and stakeholder management skills, with a practical approach to getting work delivered.
  • Confidence working directly with operational teams and managing competing site priorities.
  • Willingness and ability to travel between Ingham and Sarina.
  • Clear communication, sound judgement and the ability to identify and remove delivery roadblocks.
  • Mobility, device rollout, frontline technology or change experience is highly regarded, but not essential.
  • Formal project management qualifications are desirable but not essential. We welcome applications from capable Project Managers who are ready to step into a broader delivery role.

Benefits:

  • A visible, hands-on role delivering an important mobility program across our Sugar operations.
  • Exposure to a broad mix of operational, technology and business improvement work.
  • A collaborative environment with strong engagement across mill sites and support teams.
  • Opportunity to work on other projects as business priorities evolve.
  • Company-funded travel, accommodation and related expenses will be provided in line with Wilmar's travel policy.
  • A likely contract extension for the right person, subject to business needs and performance.

If you are a practical Project Manager who enjoys working with operational teams, solving delivery challenges and seeing projects through on site, we would like to hear from you.
