Description

Are you the kind of person who walks into chaos and sees a system waiting to happen? At Acusensus, we're not building spreadsheets — we're saving lives. Our AI-driven road safety technology is deployed globally, and the production engine behind it needs someone who can keep up. We're looking for a Project Specialist, Production & Service who brings structure to ambiguity, drives decisions without needing a perfect brief, and knows how to get things done through people — not just process WHO WE ARE Acusensus is an Australian technology company using AI-driven imaging to enhance road safety and reduce distracted driving accidents globally. We are a purpose-driven team valuing impact, collaboration, integrity, care, and delivery, committed to saving lives and making communities safer. At Acusensus, we’re driven by a powerful mission — to make a genuine difference in road safety through cutting-edge detection and enforcement technology. THE OPPORTUNITY: A Role Where You Can Make Your Mark This is a hands-on, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of production, service, and continuous improvement. You'll own manufacturing projects from initiation through to delivery — coordinating teams, managing contractors, solving problems before they become crises, and constantly looking for smarter ways to operate. You won't be handed a perfect playbook. You'll help write it. This role is right for someone who thrives in a start-up-style environment, is comfortable making decisions without complete information, and has the drive to build something that lasts. WHAT YOU'LL DO You'll own production and service projects from initiation to completion — coordinating teams, hitting timelines, and keeping quality high. Day to day, that means: Leading the planning, prioritisation, and tracking of all manufacturing tasks — new builds, upgrades, and site installations Spotting risks early and driving recovery plans before they become problems Coordinating contractors and field staff to deliver on time Working closely with Production and Engineering to remove bottlenecks and lead continuous improvement Making smart insourcing vs. outsourcing calls, weighing cost, capability, timing, & IP Collaborating with procurement on purchase orders and inventory Maintaining clear, up-to-date manufacturing and service documentation Play a pivotal role in rolling out product improvements and continuous improvement projects across service operations. Championing a culture of operational excellence — and holding the line on quality WHAT YOU’LL BRING We are seeking a proactive and highly organised individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment. The Essentials: 4+ years of project management experience in a production, manufacturing, or maintenance environment Proven ability to negotiate, influence, and build relationships — without burning them A direct communication style: you say what you mean, and you follow through Experience in an unstructured or start-up environment — and a track record of bringing thoughtful process to it Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to make a call when it matters A continuous improvement mindset — you're never satisfied with "good enough" Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple moving parts simultaneously. Highly regarded: Degree in Engineering, Business, or Project Management (or equivalent experience) Project management certification (Agile, PMBOK, PMP, Prince2, or similar) Experience with Google, Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or Fleetio Familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 45001, or other quality/safety management systems Candidates must possess full working rights for Australia. Pre-employment checks (including driver license history and police check) will be conducted at our expense. YOUR WORKING ENVIRONMENT This is a full-time, hybrid (3/2) role based in our Ingleburn facility. At Acusensus, we trust our team to work in ways that maximise productivity, collaboration, and well-being, while staying connected to our mission of making roads safer. This role requires the ability and willingness to travel nationally on an ad-hoc basis. WHY YOU'LL LOVE WORKING WITH US A Mission That Matters: Your work will directly support our purpose of saving lives and making communities safer. Excellent Exposure: Gain direct mentorship from the Global Commercial Manager and build your skills in contract negotiation and senior stakeholder engagement. Global Impact: Be part of a truly global team (AU, NZ, US, UK, EU) and a rapidly growing Australian technology success story. A Culture of Delivery: We value collaboration, integrity, and care. We're a team that plans, forecasts, and delivers As part of your application, you will be asked to provide a short written response to two (2) questions.
