You will play a leading role within Treasury and the Major Projects Division (MPD) team to deliver a range of timely and expert advice and leadership across one or more of the three team pillars: major projects, strategic transactions and relevant policy initiatives.

As part of the team, you may find yourself providing key input in commercial and financial advice to agencies on funding, financing, procuring and delivering major infrastructure, energy transition, precinct development and capital projects throughout the project lifecycle from investment decision, bid evaluation, negotiation, contract execution, delivery and operation. You will also deploy your strong financial analysis and/or independent business review skills to assist in financial due diligence, financial capacity review and evaluation workstreams and contingency planning on projects and strategic transactions.

**About the Team**

The Major Projects Division sits within NSW Treasury’s Commercial Group and is NSW Treasury’s in-house major projects and strategic transaction team. MPD provides commercial, financial and governance advice and undertakes due diligence and complex negotiations for the Treasurer and the NSW Government.

MPD is made up of three pillars:

- **Major Projects**: partners with agencies to deliver major capital projects including provision of commercial and financial advice to agencies on funding, financing, procuring and delivering major infrastructure, energy transition, precinct development and capital projects throughout the project lifecycle from investment decision, bid evaluation, negotiation, contract execution, delivery and operation.
- **Strategic Transactions**: leads the execution of transactions, financial due diligence, governance strategy and complex commercial and contract negotiations with the public and private sector on behalf of the State.
- **Policy**: develops and administers a range of policy initiatives, in collaboration with other parts of Treasury and the NSW Government, including the Financial Capacity Framework, the Financial Assessment Services Scheme, Bid Cost Contributions, PPP Guidelines and other policy imperatives. MPD also contributes towards the development of policy in the infrastructure and construction sector and promotes consistency in government procurements.
