Cross River Rail will transform the way we travel to, from and through Brisbane in the future. It will be a catalyst for 10 years of wider rail transformation across the whole of South East Queensland and it is already playing a key role in how we prepare for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Cross River Rail is a new 10.2km rail line including 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD. It includes the delivery of four new underground stations, two new above-ground stations, accessibility rebuilds for six stations, the construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast, and the introduction of a new world-class 'ETCS' signalling system.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work on one of Australia's largest infrastructure projects and to be a part of something that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

- Proactively identify risks, issues and opportunities, and assist with developing mitigation strategies as required, related to the delivery of key sponsor requirements, assets into operations and network objectives.
- Provide support for executive level briefings and engagement to support operational objectives and manage any emerging risks or issues.
- Report progress and manage issues and risks related to Steady State Operationalisation.

**About You**:
