IT Lead

M2P was created to do engineering differently. To challenge and deliver better solutions to clients, and to take pride in a job done right. It's worked, and now, we're kicking on.

Today, we're a market leader in construction, engineering and fabrication services, specialising in heavy industrial structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) projects across Australia.

And right now is a genuinely exciting time to join us. We're about to open the doors of our brand-new Spring Hill office and launch our refreshed brand; a fresh chapter for a business that's growing all the time but never forgets what matters most: our people.

This is your opportunity to get stuck into good, honest work with a successful, forward-thinking business that takes care of its own; from a new office, at the start of something big.

As our IT Lead, you'll play a crucial role in enhancing our Tier 1 enterprise system (IFS) and integrating it with our HRIS and fabrication (shop-floor) software. This role is central to our growth, and to delivering on our promise: “Engineering. The Way it Should Be.”

Based at our new Spring Hill head office and reporting to our Chief Financial Officer, you'll own the IT & Systems function for the whole business. You'll draw on your expertise in EAM and complex financial software systems, and your project management know-how, to drive system enhancements that lift operational efficiency across the business.

You'll lead a small internal team, work alongside our Managed Service Providers, and enjoy being surrounded by reliable, innovative colleagues who back each other and strive for excellence.

Everything at M2P runs on three pillars: Win, Lead, Build, and this role touches all three. You'll know you're our kind of person if this sounds like you:

• You act within your authority, then communicate; you don't ask permission for things that are yours to decide. Quick calls on reversible decisions; real rigour on the ones you can't undo.
• You build systems that don't depend on any one person; documented, understood, and built to outlast you.
• You see technology as something that enables delivery, not controls it. If a process creates friction without adding value, you change it.
• You raise problems early, talk straight, and take responsibility for outcomes, not just activity.
• Challenge accepted is your default setting.

• Overseeing the enhancement and integration of software across M2P Engineering
• Leading systems projects, including the enhancement of IFS
• Providing technical guidance and leadership, including proper documentation of infrastructure, configurations and processes
• Managing stakeholder expectations and keeping projects aligned with business goals
• Engaging with vendors for hardware, software and services
• Driving IT innovation and efficiency through effective project management and delivery
• Creating a long-term roadmap for the business's technology needs; raising the standard, and making every project better than the last

To succeed in this role, you will have:

• Experience with Tier 1 enterprise systems (IFS, Oracle, SAP, Maximo), IFS preferred
• Demonstrated project management experience on large-scale systems implementations
• Expertise in Microsoft 365, including SharePoint
• Experience managing server infrastructure on Azure, AWS or similar platforms
• Proven ability to manage stakeholder expectations and deliver project outcomes
• The vision to shape how AI is used across the organisation to deliver automation
• Experience leading a small team and managing Managed Service Providers

Ideally, you'll also have:

• A good understanding of finance principles and API integration
• Experience in the construction, civil or mechanical engineering sectors
• Domain registry expertise and knowledge of Oracle or SQL Server databases
• A Bachelor degree (AQF Bachelor or higher) in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems or a related field, or equivalent recognised experience
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g. Microsoft, ITIL, enterprise systems, project management, security)

• A competitive salary package
• A brand-new Spring Hill office; you'll join us as one of the first through the doors
• A genuine seat at the table as we shape the next chapter of M2P's growth
• A business that backs its people with real opportunity (four of our last five senior appointments were promoted from within)
• The chance to own the technology roadmap for a market-leading business
• A culture where decisions sit close to the work; you'll be trusted to use your judgement, not sent up the chain for sign-off
• A team built on trust, straight talk and backing each other.

Apply now to lead transformative projects and shape the future of M2P Engineering's IT systems.
