Design Infrastructure Manager

• ​​​​​​Five year term with possibility of extension
• Draw on your strong judgement, flexible approach and adaptability in this pivotal leadership role
• Contribute to the global SKA initiative and help revolutionise our understanding of the Universe

CSIRO plays a leading role in one of the world’s largest radio astronomy projects: the SKA, which will be co-hosted by Australia.  The SKA-Low telescope is being built by the SKA Observatory (SKAO) at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Yamaji country in Western Australia. The SKA telescopes will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics.  CSIRO’s Site Entity team manages the observatory on behalf of the nation and is also tasked with the preparation of other facilities to support construction and operation of SKA-Low.

As the Site Entity team’s Design Infrastructure Manager, you will work in close association with CSIRO Space and Astronomy management, CSIRO Business and Infrastructure Services (CBIS), SKAO and the Australian Government to ensure the operational accommodation requirements of all stakeholders are met, and relevant groups are supported and engaged throughout the project lifecycle.  As a key member of the team, you will autonomously lead all the activities associated with the building infrastructure obligations Australia is required to provide the SKAO. This includes the Science Operations Centre in Perth, Engineering Operations Centre in Geraldton and Boolardy Accommodation Facility in the Murchison.
