Operational Integration Manager

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)...Your chance to work with the best
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 develop mitigation strategies related to the delivery of key sponsor requirements
- Actively participate and represent the Project's interests in facilitated workshop and meetings with the Project's contracting parties.
- Provide an effective conduit for internal project interfaces relating to operations, including track alignment, rollingstock, signal design, program delivery, and land use (precinct) outcomes.
- Create linkages to interface CRR design and delivery with broader SEQ rail network growth and investment.
