Diversity and inclusion are core DPIRD values.  Everyone has the right to contribute and participate to their full potential.  We are committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive culture that is respectful, welcoming and flexible – a workplace where our people feel supported, valued, and part of our collective success.

About the role

We're launching a new Compliance service line—starting with fire safety.

As our Senior Program Manager – Compliance, you'll lead the delivery of practical, end-to-end compliance services for NSW Government agencies. Fire safety will be your initial focus, but the role is designed to expand into broader areas of compliance over time.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a new business function from scratch, improve safety and asset performance across the state, and position Public Works as a trusted delivery partner for government facility compliance.

What you'll do

  • Lead fire compliance delivery: asset reviews, AS 1851 testing coordination, AFSS completion, and fire safety certification.
  • Oversee compliance in related areas as the service line expands (e.g. WHS, building safety, environmental or security compliance).
  • Support procurement of qualified contractors and help agencies define technical scopes.
  • Scope building works required to meet compliance obligations and support project planning.
  • Align compliance with emergency planning, evacuation procedures, and operational risk frameworks.
  • Define service offerings, build pricing models, and pilot with early adopter agencies.
  • Develop tools, templates, and dashboards to monitor delivery and drive improvement.
  • Lead a team of technical coordinators and collaborate with regional QSE staff and external experts.
  • Work closely with internal infrastructure and asset management teams to integrate compliance into long-term facility planning.

What you'll bring

  • Qualifications in engineering, building, fire safety or equivalent experience, plus Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety) credentials (or equivalent).
  • Strong knowledge of AS 1851, BCA fire safety provisions, AFSS, and regulatory frameworks.
  • Broader experience with compliance in other areas such as WHS, environmental, or security-related requirements.
  • A solid understanding of asset maintenance and facilities management in government or complex infrastructure settings.
  • Experience working with government clients and agencies.
  • Experience delivering services and negotiating contracts in multi-stakeholder environments.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder skills—comfortable working with executives, government clients, contractors, and regulators such as Fire & Rescue NSW.
  • A current driver licence and willingness to travel across NSW for site visits, audits, and client engagement.

Why join us?

You'll lead a new and growing function in NSW Public Works, delivering practical compliance services that support the safety, performance and sustainability of public infrastructure across the state.

Apply now and help shape the future of compliance in NSW.
