|Role Overview: |
|The Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL), located in Geelong, Victoria, is one of the world’s most significant infectious disease containment |
|laboratories. There is no comparable facility in the southern hemisphere or Asia, and it is one of six such facilities in the world. AAHL is operated |
|by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Primarily AAHL deals with animal disease incursions which can |
|harm community and economy. In this respect it is the key national infrastructure in the field of infectious animal disease research, response, |
|containment and preparedness. It is also playing an increasing role in zoonotic disease outbreaks - pathogens which can transmit from animals to |
|humans make up an estimated 70 per cent of all human infectious diseases. |
|CSIRO is undertaking a part-life upgrade of AAHL and is seeking a highly experienced project manager with proven experience in the planning and |
|delivery of complex and highly technical capital works projects. The upgrade of engineering services and laboratory space will ensure the continuation|
|of nationally significant capability for the next thirty years. The project is Phase 1 of an overarching AAHL Masterplan. Phase 1 of the Masterplan |
|was approved in the 2018 Federal Budget. |
|In this role, you will work collaboratively across CSIRO business units and with a range of industry partners to ensure the AAHL Part-life Refit |
|Project is delivered in support of CSIRO’s long term vision for AAHL. |
|As the CBIS Project Manager, you will manage the planning and delivery of the project including the application of change management principles. In |
|delivering the project, you will be responsible to the CBIS AAHL Zone Manager and will operate within the project governance structure. You will be |
|directly accountable for ensuring the project adheres to time, cost and quality requirements and for providing high quality, strategic advice; often |
|in connection with technically challenging issues. |
|You will have demonstrated ability to establish and maintain relationships with senior and key stakeholders across industry, all levels of government |
|and the community. You will have a broad knowledge of government policy and experience in managing large and / or complex projects. The value of the |
|AAHL project is in the order of $200 million. |
|To be successful in this position, you will need to keep abreast of relevant issues and developments and draw on CSIRO-internal and external expertise|
|in order to provide timely, accurate, specialist advice within the Project. Your recommendations will often impact strategic decision making. |
|Security Clearance: |
|This is a security assessed position. Applicants must be an Australian citizen, with successful candidate either holding or having the ability to |
|obtain a Negative Vetting 1, Australian Government security clearance. |
|Duties and Key Result Areas: |
|Lead the AAHL Part-Life Refit Project, integrating the strategic needs of sound asset management principles and science objectives to deliver a value |

|commitment to displaying the highest standards of ethical behaviour and integrity in alignment with the principles of CSIRO Values. |

|Anticipate and manage significant risks and issues, often in ambiguous situations, by evaluating and interpreting complex information and developing |
|creative solutions and contingencies. |

|Security Assessment and Microbiological Security Requirements for Personnel Working on the AAHL |
|Site |
|The nature of our work requires that each person working on site must comply with the conditions described below. |
|The appointee is required to pass a security clearance at a level appropriate to duties of the position. Confirmation of the appointment is subject to|
|obtaining that clearance. The security assessment will require that the individual has resided in Australia for the past 10 years and can provide |
|referees who are Australian citizens for the last 10 years. |
|It is essential that all work on exotic or emerging diseases carried out at AAHL is conducted in a safe manner to prevent the escape of the disease |
|agents used, and to this end, all activities and personnel will be subject to appropriate microbiological security measures. Consequently, while |
|working at AAHL, you may not reside on a property on which are kept any of the following animals: sheep, cattle, pigs, goats, horses, asses and mules,|
|any other cloven-hoofed animal, fowls, turkeys, geese, domestic ducks, caged birds, emus or ostriches. Personnel working with diseases of aquatic |
|animals may not keep aquarium fish at their place of residence and personnel working with cane toad material must avoid contact with amphibians. |

|the above animals, amphibians or birds or the actual places where these animals are held, or visit any aquatic animal farm or aquatic animal hatchery.|
|Working in the barrier maintained Small Animal Facility requires avoidance of additional animals such as mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and poultry |
|3 days prior to arrival. |
|It is usual practice in laboratories where work with infectious disease agents is carried out, to collect a blood sample from personnel and store |
|serum for future reference. This is a safety precaution, so that if any person becomes ill in the future, serum samples are available for testing. |
|Personnel must abide by Occupational Health, Safety and Environment regulations. Safety signs and directives issued by CSIRO personnel must be |
|complied with at all times. |
|Access restrictions apply to the Werribee Animal Health Facility (WAHF) site that is associated with, but remote from, the AAHL site. |

|line with CSIRO’s strategic direction; |
|Demonstrated ability to lead, coordinate and manage a multi-disciplinary team comprised of internal and external project management and consultant |
|personnel, to achieve project outcomes; and |
|An understanding of Government processes in particular planning systems and controls, project planning and delivery. |
| |
|Desirable Criteria: |
|Experience delivering capital works involving laboratories, biocontainment facilities and/or in an operational environment; and |
