Your work will directly shape the future of Australia’s core industries, delivering tangible outcomes that create profound and lasting value.

 You will be a pivotal member of a high-impact project delivery team – some big, some small - where you will engage in following activities at the client site, in our offices and/or at home:

• Lead: Oversee and steer consulting engagements supporting multi-billion-dollar capital projects and enterprise-wide transformations, moving far beyond simple project management


• Communicate: Translate complex findings into compelling, clear recommendations in shape of a report and/or presentation for C-suite and senior government stakeholders, influencing the strategic agenda and enabling them to make an informed decision


• Analyse Data: Plan and lead rigorous, hypothesis-driven data analysis to analyse complex project and operational problems and deliver data-backed, strategic insights that drive executive decisions


• Innovate: Harness Deloitte’s global network and advanced methodologies, including Design Thinking and advanced data analytics, to pioneer unique solutions and accelerate client delivery


• Implement: Seek, build and foster trusted advisor relationships with clients to ensure solutions are not just delivered, but embedded and sustained for long-term impact


• Coach and Mentor: Help develop next generation of consultants by actively coaching and mentoring junior team members (for example graduates, consultants and senior consultants), building capability across the practice


• Build Practice: Own and lead development of industry articles and internal best-practice guides that demonstrate Deloitte’s expertise to the market


• Grow Pipeline: Support Partners and Directors in responding to Requests for Quotations (RFQ) and leading development of proposals to win new work

About You

You are an exceptional people leader, problem-solver, and proven practitioner ready to support Tier 1 clients and challenges that define a career. You are driven to lead a team to solve complex, unstructured problems and are ready for a bigger stage.

Key Requirements

• You are ambitious and curious self-starter, with a strong desire to leverage your consulting and industry experience to solve bigger, more complex problems.


• You have hands-on experience leading projects from within large-scale projects, likely gained in a heavy asset industry such as mining, power & utilities, transport, or infrastructure (and ideally through Big4 / Boutique consulting firms)


• We value your practical experience in one or more key areas across the project lifecycle: strategy, project controls (cost and schedule), contract management, risk analysis, operational and process improvement, and/or the implementation of digital project management tools.


• You have a knack for structured, hypothesis-driven problem-solving. You don't just follow the plan; you build the plan and lead a team to analyse the data, diagnose the root cause of issues, and develop practical solutions.


• You are a clear communicator, capable of translating complex technical details into credible updates for project leaders, clients, and other stakeholders.


• You build effective working relationships on the ground and can confidently engage with senior team members and client counterparts, as well your direct reports.


• Proficiency with data analysis tools (like Excel, Power BI) and project management software and is highly valued.

What’s in it for you?

Scale that matters. You will gain access to landmark projects and C-suite conversations that are off-limits elsewhere, working with Tier 1 clients to solve their biggest problems and get multi-billion-dollar projects off the ground.

Own the outcome, not just delivery. You will have the autonomy to shape engagement strategy, lead high-performing teams, and drive commercial success on high profile client challenges.

A clear pathway to leadership at scale. We provide more than just learning: we offer a platform for you to build your own distinctive career. Leverage Deloitte’s market breadth to grow your own client relationships and portfolio and accelerate trajectory toward Senior Manager, Director and ultimately Partner.

Finally, trade rigid corporate structures for outcome-based autonomy. We empower you to own your own schedule, allowing you to build a sustainable, high-impact career while sleeping in your own bed. This is supported by benefits that matter, including competitive remuneration and salary packing, significant wellbeing leave and market-leading parental leave packages, and access to other benefits such as “Fitness Passport”, Employee Referral Program, and exclusive corporate perks with leading health and banking organisations.
