About the Company
Davidson Technology are working with a leading Federal Government agency to secure an experienced Handover & Go-Live Coordinator
to support a major national infrastructure modernisation program involving the upgrade of more than 750 sites across Australia and the Pacific.
Our client operates within a complex, critical infrastructure environment, delivering essential services that support national operations, monitoring and the availability of critical information.
About the Role
As the Handover & Go-Live Coordinator, you will coordinate the deployment, commissioning, integration and operational handover of upgraded infrastructure across a large-scale, multi-site technology program.
You will develop and maintain integrated go-live plans, ensuring physical site installations, IT systems, network connectivity, system configurations and integration testing are aligned and ready for successful implementation.
A key focus will be acting as the primary coordination point between IT implementation teams, field technicians, engineering specialists and operational stakeholders, tracking technical dependencies, site readiness, commissioning activities and outstanding actions.
You will coordinate IT change and release management activities, including cutover planning, change requests, implementation schedules and Change Advisory Board (CAB) approvals, ensuring deployments follow established governance processes.
You will also oversee post-go-live hypercare activities, coordinate incident and defect resolution, and facilitate the transition of infrastructure, technical documentation and support arrangements into business-as-usual operations.
This is an initial 12-month contract with 2 x 12-month extension options, based in Melbourne, with flexible working arrangements available subject to operational requirements and approval.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced Deployment Coordinator, Go-Live Coordinator, Implementation Manager, Cutover Manager or technical infrastructure professional with demonstrated experience coordinating complex technology deployments across multiple sites.
You will bring:
- Demonstrated experience coordinating technical infrastructure deployments, system implementations, go-live activities, commissioning and operational handover.
- Experience working across IT implementation teams, engineering specialists, field technicians and infrastructure installation teams.
- Strong understanding of the end-to-end implementation lifecycle, including installation, configuration, connectivity, integration testing, commissioning and production release.
- Experience coordinating complex, multi-site infrastructure rollouts, managing technical dependencies, implementation schedules and site readiness.
- Knowledge of IT change management, release management, cutover planning, technical acceptance and Change Advisory Board (CAB) processes.
- Experience coordinating post-go-live hypercare, incident and defect management, and transition into business-as-usual support.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and organisational skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple technical workstreams and resolve competing priorities.
Experience within telecommunications, utilities, critical infrastructure, remote monitoring, telemetry or large-scale technology infrastructure programs will be highly regarded.
You will be a highly organised and proactive professional who can bridge technical and operational teams, manage complex implementation dependencies and ensure infrastructure is successfully transitioned into operational service.

You will work alongside experienced project professionals, engineering specialists, IT teams and operational stakeholders, gaining exposure to complex, large-scale infrastructure deployments and national technology transformation initiatives.
