Project Manager - Warehouse Automation Solutions

Reference: 1780203002_1771999909

* 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.
