**Are you wondering what’s across the tracks?**

**Design Manager**

KBR are the Principal Design partner on the North Western Program Alliance (NWPA). The Alliance comprises of Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP), Metro Trains Melbourne, KBR, and John Holland.

NWPA was established in 2017 and has delivered on approximately $3B of transport infrastructure projects for The State and community. Based on our success, LXRP have recently awarded NWPA a 5-year extension to our partnership providing us a strong, clear pipeline of transport opportunities through Melbourne till 2027.

With the significant demand present within the Victoria transport sector, a move to NWPA & KBR is an exciting next step in your planning career. You’ll be working on high profile, community shaping projects, predominately involving the removal of level crossings across Melbourne, with some other diverse opportunities currently being developed by NWPA.

Unlike traditional planning roles, this position will provide an opportunity to influence high profile infrastructure projects from early design and planning, right through to delivery. Working within a highly skilled multi-disciplinary team, you will be a key part to developing creative solutions to achieve industry best practice outcomes.

NWPA & KBR are workplaces that strive hard to be considered by staff as ‘The place to be’ and we hold this theme at the centre our strategy and business operations. This translates into an environment that:

- Provides staff opportunities to diversify their skill set by working beside a broad range of business functions (design, engineering, stakeholder engagement, digital, construction, etc).
- Collaborative culture with resolution of project challenges and delivery.
- Supports each other in managing our workload.
- Flexible hybrid working approach with opportunities to work from home, head office and site offices.

Whilst this position will initially join the NWPA, this is a permanent role with KBR which opens a door to working on other iconic infrastructure projects nationally.

**The Opportunity**

On NWPA, Design Manager is a key role within our organisational structure and project team. You will have opportunity to lead every stage of a project cycle from Business Case and Development Phase through to Construction and Asset Handover.

Your transport infrastructure design expertise and multidisciplinary management skills will be key in shaping our capability, one that is renowned for achieving exceptional outcomes and providing the Alliance and client with great places, greater transport networks and project performance outcomes.

**Responsibilities**:
Your responsibilities will be included but are not limited to:

- Accountability for scope, cost, time and quality strategy, operation and performance.
- Work closely with the client and internal staff to effectively manage expectations, contract compliance, and achieve compliance with NWPA & KBR systems and processes
- Identify value-adds, innovations and other points of difference that NWPA and KBR can deliver or develop further with the Alliance team and client.
- Client relationship management
- Lead and manage a multi-disciplinary team (both internal KBR disciplines as well as external sub-consultant partners)

.**What you will need to succeed**
- A solid track record and demonstrated experience within the Transport Infrastructure sector, preferably in Victoria.
- Strong technical design management ability (incl people, relationships, reporting)

**What do KBR offer?**

We are committed to social and environmental sustainability and delivering projects with a digital mindset that drives innovation within our business, for our customers and stakeholders.

Our people blend seamlessly into customer teams to help create a positive impact on the communities and environments they seek to improve. Our expertise and adaptability is unmatched and continues to meet the demands of tomorrow to help shape Australia’s future for the better.

Together, we deliver Infrastructure for a better tomorrow.

In addition to working on some fantastic projects, KBR offer an array of benefits focused on providing our people with a great working environment, continual career development, Family friendly flexible work arrangements and work/life balance. Our culture, and our genuine focus on our people is a major factor in our success and we want you to be part of our journey.

- Industry leading salaries, reviewed annually
- 20 Days Leave per year + an additional day off every 4 weeks (33 days in total)
