This is a rewarding opportunity to lead the end-to-end delivery of civil and community infrastructure projects, from concept through to completion. You’ll engage closely with stakeholders to understand project requirements, develop estimates and documentation, and oversee timely, on-budget delivery — all while ensuring the highest standards of safety, sustainability, and compliance.
As the public face of our civil works, your leadership will be key to effective community consultation, contractor coordination, and transparent communication. You’ll play a critical role in maintaining Council’s prequalification status with Transport for NSW, managing RMCC works, and supporting emergency response efforts as required.
To thrive in this role, you’ll bring significant expertise and proven leadership experience, ideally within a local government context. Your high-level knowledge of infrastructure and engineering will be evident in your ability to effectively apply it. You’ll demonstrate strong organisational acumen through exceptional planning skills, the ability to manage budgets, allocate resources effectively, and report on progress with precision. An influential leader, you possess highly developed interpersonal skills, including a keen eye for detail, a knack for analytical thinking, and a talent for problem-solving. You will also have the proven ability to inspire and guide teams towards common goals, along with clear and respectful communication abilities to engage with all stakeholders. You are tech savvy, proficient in common office software like MS Word, Excel, and Outlook, as well as relevant professional tools, with a strong grasp of project, contract, and procurement management. Most importantly, you are a committed and learning professional, possessing a valid driver’s licence, a WHS Construction Induction (White) Card, as well as being capable of demonstrating integrity, adaptability and a high level of commitment to workplace health and safety.
