Job Description

Smiths Detection is seeking an experienced and commercially astute Project / Programme Manager to lead complex customer-facing projects across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.

Based in Auckland with a hybrid working arrangement, this is a unique and highly autonomous role where you will act as the primary project management lead for the region, driving the successful delivery of airport security and detection technology projects from inception through to completion. You'll oversee multiple concurrent projects while serving as the key interface between customers, internal stakeholders, and delivery teams.

If you're a self-starter who thrives in a hands-on environment, enjoys balancing commercial and operational priorities, and can confidently navigate complex stakeholder relationships, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As the regional Project / Programme Manager, you will:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple projects and programmes across ANZ and the Pacific Islands
  • Manage project scope, schedule, budget, risks, resources, and customer expectations
  • Serve as the primary customer-facing representative throughout project execution
  • Drive project planning, forecasting, reporting, and governance activities
  • Partner closely with Sales, Engineering, Service, Supply Chain, Finance, and Global Programmes teams
  • Manage contract execution and ensure projects are delivered in line with commercial commitments
  • Support customer tenders, project kick-offs, handovers, change management, and contract close-out activities
  • Monitor project performance through established controls, reporting mechanisms, and risk management processes
  • Ensure successful handover of completed projects to Service and Operations teams
  • Travel throughout the region as required to support customer sites and project delivery

What Makes This Role Unique

This is not a traditional project management position.

You will be the dedicated project management lead covering a diverse geographical region that includes major international airports and critical infrastructure customers across ANZ and the Pacific Islands.

Success in this role requires someone who can operate independently, make decisions confidently, build strong customer relationships, and effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously with limited day-to-day supervision.
