Perth, Australia GHD Full time

Our Western Australia team is now seeking an Aboriginal Participation Specialist to become an integral member of our WA business. Based out of our Perth office on Whadjuk Noongar Country, this exciting role will help GHD bring to life our determination and commitment by playing our part in increasing the participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and businesses as well as developing relationships with Community. The role will:

- Lead and manage resources, relationships and the ongoing growth of our participation
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with key Indigenous sub-consultants and suppliers as well as potential Indigenous business partners
- Work closely with Federal and State (and in some instances, local) government agencies, as appropriate, to leverage new opportunities and support them in their cultural competency journey
- Build close relationships with contractors and, where appropriate, play a lead role in developing alliances for the winning and delivery of project

With your high level and knowledge of maximising outcomes for Aboriginal businesses, people and communities, you will lead GHD to be well placed as a key performer.

As an organisation of 10,000 people, GHD continues to expand and grow. GHD is committed to First Nations employment both directly and through leveraging First Nations businesses on our projects. The role of Aboriginal Participation Specialist represents an outstanding opportunity to continue the growth of our Indigenous supplier network across WA.

GHD is firmly committed to Reconciliation and empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through meaningful, long-term employment. If you would like to learn more about our commitment, please read our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (2021 - 2023).

GHD considers that being an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person is a genuine occupational requirement for this position under s 50 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (WA). Therefore, this role is only open to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons at this time.

We respectfully ask that no agency resumes be presented at this stage.
