Project Officer

Project Management Officer

Help deliver technology that performs when it matters most

At APC Technology, we want to give a shout-out to prospective Project Officers looking for more than a standard project support role. We are an energetic, diverse and growing company delivering technology that matters for some of the best clients across Defence, mining, transport and critical industrial sectors.

For decades, we have designed, manufactured and delivered rugged electronic and embedded technology solutions for Defence, mining, transport and critical industrial applications. Behind every successful project is a team that ensures schedules stay on track, risks are managed, customers are informed and commitments are delivered.

We are seeking a highly organised Project Officer to join our PMO — someone who enjoys variety, wants the opportunity to do something different every day, and is excited to support meaningful outcomes for an exceptional range of customers.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on coordination, enjoys bringing structure to complex projects and takes pride in ensuring the details are managed effectively. Working closely with our Program Manager, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Sales and customers, you will play a critical role in supporting projects from initiation through to completion.
