For over 150 years, we've been instrumental in linking people and places, and now we invite you to contribute to our proud legacy and shape a brighter, sustainable future.

**About the Role**
- We are seeking a strategic and experienced **Operational Readiness Interface Lead** to act as a key conduit between Queensland Rail’s **Portfolio Operational Readiness**team and the broader business.
- This role is not “change management” - it’s about ensuring operational outcomes are embedded and sustainable. You’ll play an important role in ensuring operational readiness across our capital and operational projects, helping to successfully embed new systems, processes and ways of working.
- In this role, you will:

- Lead the implementation of the Enterprise Operational Readiness framework, tools and processes across multiple projects and business units.
- Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities with respect to the Enterprise Operational Readiness framework and associated tools and templates.
- Educate, coach and support stakeholders in operational readiness practices.
- Provide clear insights and recommendations that support operational success and decision-making.
- Build strong relationships across project teams, operations, and executive stakeholders to ensure business units are engaged and aligned with readiness activities.

**What We’re Looking For**
- Demonstrated experience in operational readiness, particularly in complex infrastructure or rail environments.
- High-level understanding of how operational readiness drives business outcomes and why it’s critical to successful project delivery.
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence at all levels of the organisation.
- Strong leadership skills with experience leading or mentoring others.
- Engineering background or experience in technical/rail contexts is highly desirable.
- Strong analytical and reporting skills, with a focus on operational impacts and risk identification.

**Remuneration & Employment Type**
- This is a full-time, permanent position based in Brisbane CBD. The role offers a starting salary of $151,359 plus 12.75% superannuation, along with hybrid work options to support a healthy work-life balance.

**Benefits that Count**
- All that Queensland Rail achieves each day relies on the hard work and talent of our teams. That’s why we offer a range of attractive benefits designed to help you bring your best, including:

- Balance your work and personal life with flexible working options
- Enjoy free travel to work and discounted rail travel
- QRI Lifestyle offers members access to over 2,000 exclusive discounts and services
- Prioritise your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing with our range of free services
- You and your family can get fit and have fun with access to over 380 gyms and pools with our Fitness Passport
- Eligible employees can receive up to 100% reimbursement for professional membership fees
- Shape your rewarding career with clear pathways, innovative projects and opportunities for growth and leadership.

**Your Journey Matters. Make It With Us.**
- If you’re ready to make a real impact and contribute to the future of our organization, we encourage you to submit your resume and cover letter before **11:59 PM (AEST) on Thursday, 12th June.**
- If you reside outside of Queensland, please note that this role requires relocation to Brisbane by your start date, as full-time remote work or fly-in/fly-out arrangements are not supported.
- As part of the recruitment process, applicants may be required to undergo pre-employment alcohol and drug testing. The selection process may also include skills assessments, video or phone interviews, psychometric testing, pre-employment health evaluations, and background checks, including criminal history and credit assessments.

**Supporting a Diverse Workforce**
- Queensland Rail acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Elders of the lands and waterways our network traverses.
- Our teams are **People who Count**. We encourage diversity in our teams, including different genders, age, race, disability status, sexual orientation, religions, neurodiversity, education levels and many more aspects. No two journeys are the same, and it’s because of our differences that as a collective, we achieve great things.
