The National Transport Commission leads national land transport reform in support of Australian governments to improve safety, productivity, environmental outcomes and regulatory efficiency. Established under Commonwealth legislation and through an inter-governmental agreement, the NTC is funded by the Commonwealth, states and territories.

As a key contributor to the national reform agenda, the NTC is accountable to Commonwealth, state and territory ministers responsible for transport and infrastructure who make up membership of the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM). The NTC works closely with ITMM’s advisory body, the Infrastructure and Transport Senior Officials’ Committee (ITSOC), which includes the heads of Commonwealth, state and territory agencies.

Reporting to the Manager PMO, this role will assist with research and the development of policy reform options for NTC projects relating to national reforms for land transport policy. This will include supporting project teams with research and analysis relating to policy reform and emerging issues across the industry, and project management including planning, scheduling, contract management and reporting. You will work collaboratively across the enterprise and across projects, liaising and consulting with external stakeholders, to assist in the analysis of the impacts of proposed reforms. Additionally, you will assist in the preparation of issues papers, discussion papers, policy papers and regulatory impact statements.

To be considered for this role you will have demonstrated project management skills and the ability to deliver against multiple priorities, as well as strong analytical skills and high-level written communication. You will be passionate about identifying innovative solutions to complex problems, highly curious, and have an understanding of, or interest in, policy reform at the national level. You will be a confident communicator and have excellent interpersonal skills including the ability to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams. Though not essential, tertiary qualifications in policy or a related field would be highly regarded.

This is an exciting opportunity to build your experience in the policy space and play a pivotal role in contributing to Australia’s transport reform agenda.
