Situated on the east coast of NSW, two hours north of Sydney, Newcastle is a vibrant city bursting with things to do, places to stay and fun to be had. Spectacular beaches and coastal scenery, with ocean baths and some of the country’s best surfing spots, are only just the start. 

If you have been looking for a lifestyle change, but you don’t want to sacrifice your career, you can have the best of both worlds with the City of Newcastle (CN).

A key focus of your role will be to provide exceptional people leadership to the team as well as managing a large and critical program of work, delivering the consolidation and upgrade of these systems to deliver contemporary and unified ERP services across CN.
