Senior Manager, Infrastructure Development

You see the big picture, you've always worked on a grand scale, and now you're ready to re-focus on making a significant impact.

As part of our transport network's transformative agenda, we are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior Manager to lead the strategic management of a complex corridor environment.

This senior leadership role will be pivotal in shaping and delivering long-term custodianship across a diverse and complex infrastructure setting.

Key responsibilities include developing, maintaining, and continuously improving strategic asset management and investment plans that enhance safety, sustainability, and operational resilience across the network.

Working within governance frameworks, you will provide oversight of corridor performance and geotechnical and civil risks.

Your leadership will ensure the corridor remains fit-for-purpose, future-ready, and aligned with broader transport priorities and stakeholder expectations.

• Oversee the accuracy, compliance, and currency of the Asset Register for the corridor assets, ensuring it supports effective decision-making, risk management, and reporting.
• Prepare and support evidence-based business cases, reports, and recommendations through rigorous data analysis, risk assessment, cost evaluation, and stakeholder consultation.
• Collaborate with senior leaders to develop and refine an integrated investment plan aligning funding priorities with network performance goals and asset needs.
• Lead the creation and implementation of long-term Strategic Asset and Services Plans (SASPs) and Asset and Services Plans (ASPs) for the corridor, reflecting strategic priorities and whole-of-life asset management principles.
• Provide technical assurance across safety, environmental compliance, maintenance delivery, and operational effectiveness to ensure high performance and network resilience.
• Identify and evaluate opportunities for asset acquisition, sustainment, renewal, or divestment, optimizing lifecycle value and supporting our transport network's strategic objectives.
• Serve as the designated asset owner within governance frameworks, providing oversight and approval for program changes related to acquisition, sustainment, renewal, and divestment.
• Provide strategic advice and final signoff as the 'voice of the owner,' including collaboration with other teams to ensure alignment with broader transport priorities.
• Lead stakeholder engagement and change management activities to support asset strategy implementation, ensuring alignment with regulatory, operational, and organisational requirements.

• Extensive experience in strategic asset management, preferably within a similar infrastructure sector.

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to influence at a senior level within large, complex organisations.

• Proven capability in risk and governance management, with a track record of delivering technically sound and compliant asset strategies.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, able to work effectively across multi-disciplinary teams and with diverse external parties.

• Demonstrated ability to manage change and drive continuous improvement in a complex and evolving operational environment.

• Demonstrated experience managing linear infrastructure assets such as rail corridors, roads, or pipelines.

We offer a wide range of employee benefits, including flexible and hybrid work options.

This role is hybrid-friendly, allowing you to mix in-person days at your team's home base location with remote days.
