Don’t come for an easy career. Stay for a rewarding one.

At Santos, we do work that matters and always have. When you join us, so will you.

As a global energy company, we’re committed to providing reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone.

To make it happen, we work as One Team and ask ourselves, “How can we?” (Even when others say, “We can’t.”)

We’re proud of our history as pioneers, problem-solvers, and pragmatists. And as we strive to achieve our Vision2040, we’ve got our sights set on a culture that is focused and disciplined to drive value, and entrepreneurial and energised to leave a positive legacy.

The difference isn’t just thinking big - it’s delivering on it too.

As part of the team, you’ll tackle one of the most complex problems of our time. It’s no easy task, but nothing rewarding ever is.

What you’ll do:

Based in Brisbane within our Midstream and Energy Solutions (M&ES) Business Unit, this role is responsible for supporting the delivery of fit-for-purpose, sustainable, and industry-leading Project Data processes and systems, with a focus on productivity improvement and cost optimisation.

• Developing and supporting fit-for-purpose Project Data resourcing solutions to support data builds, driving quality, consistency, and business value
• Leading the operationalisation and continuous improvement of Project Data management solutions (e.g., Omega PIMS) and digitised design solutions within projects (e.g., Hexagon Design Tools)
• Undertaking Project Data build quality assurance reviews and audits
• Managing contractor activities including auditing and governance

• A strong understanding of how project data supports Reliability & Maintenance outcomes and operational readiness
• Experience leading or contributing to data standards, processes, and continuous improvement initiatives within a project context
• Proven ability to manage contractor performance, including auditing and governance activities
• Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to build effective relationships across diverse project, engineering, and operations teams
• Relevant Trade, Project, or Master Data Management qualifications
• Experience with the SmartPlant suite, Omega PIMS, Hexagon Design Tools, and/or SAP (EAM) will be highly regarded
• A degree in a related technical field (e.g., Engineering, Design, IT) is desirable

What you’ll get:

Here, you’ll be amongst high-calibre people and get to work on industry-leading projects. We don’t shy away from solving tough problems at pace. We like it that way. You can expect to be challenged and supported; to learn and grow.

At Santos, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. This means a place that is safe; where you are valued and respected, and your contribution is recognised and appreciated. Join us, and you’ll play a role in this too.
