5 days ago

Kensington Victoria Australia CFG Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

Summary

We are seeking an experienced Rail Access Coordinator with proven knowledge of rail corridor access and third-party interface requirements. You will play a key role in managing site access permits (SAPs), coordinating with Authorised Rail Operators (AROs), and ensuring all works within or adjacent to the rail network are delivered safely and in compliance with ARO standards.

You will support the planning and sequencing of rail activities and will liaise directly with project managers, rail asset owners, and utility providers to streamline access approvals. This role is ideal for someone who has previously worked in rail interface management, permit coordination, or occupation planning and is looking to take ownership of access planning across multiple projects.

Responsibilities

  • Manage and process Site Access Permits (SAPs) in line with ARO requirements.
  • Liaise with Authorised Rail Operators (AROs) and ensure compliance with safety and operational standards.
  • Coordinate and proactively advise on project access needs, providing expert guidance where possible
  • Take a lead role in planning and sequencing of works offering recommendations and solutions rather than simply relaying information.
  • Collaborate with project managers, contractors, and utility providers to meet access and safety requirements.
  • Maintain accurate records and documentation related to rail access.

What We are Looking For:

  • Direct rail access coordination experience (e.g., MTM, ARTC, VicTrack, or interstate/overseas AROs).
  • Hands-on experience with SAPs and access planning, not just generic construction administration.
  • Understanding of rail industry processes and regulatory requirements.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • Ability to work across multiple projects with competing deadlines.
  • A qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related field (preferred)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project) and familiarity with project management tools.
  • A current driver's licence.
  • A proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and support others.

Why Join Sterling:

  • Join a growing business committed to investing in its future.
  • Be part of a collaborative and supportive team.
  • Access professional development and career growth opportunities.
  • Enjoy a convenient Kensington location with a flexible work environment.
