Stadiums Tasmania is a statutory authority established by the Tasmanian Government under the provisions contained in the Stadiums Tasmania Act 2022 (the Act) to centralise the ownership, management, and capital development of Tasmania’s major public stadiums, and fulfil a role in attracting and hosting national and international events whilst still being accessible to the wider Tasmanian community. Our vision is to make Tasmania a leading destination for world-class events and to enhance the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing of Tasmanians.

About the Opportunity

We are looking for an energetic and highly motivated Project Delivery Manager to lead the successful planning and execution of major redevelopment projects of Stadiums Tasmania’s venues. Initially the projects include the $130M redevelopment of UTAS Stadium and the redevelopment of the Silverdome.
