portfolio assurance officer

Department for Infrastructure and Transport

Job reference: 691480

Location: ADELAIDE

Job status: Ongoing

Eligibility: Open to Everyone

At the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, we are connecting South Australia to keep our State moving. We are responsible for delivering a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of transformative transport and social infrastructure projects, operating and maintaining thousands of kilometres of roads and managing our city's public transport network.

Our work encompasses every part of our State; from our cities to our regions, connecting and strengthening community. We value diversity and inclusion and foster an environment of collaboration, flexibility, and support for our people.

The Opportunity

Join a team that's driving South Australia's infrastructure forward. As a Portfolio Assurance Officer, you'll play a key role in supporting major projects by helping ensure they meet governance, compliance, and performance standards.

In this role, you'll work alongside project teams and senior stakeholders to support assurance activities, contribute to reporting and documentation, and help identify and manage risks. You'll also be involved in improving business processes and supporting change initiatives that enhance project delivery across the Department.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, has a sharp eye for detail, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. If you're looking to grow your career while contributing to meaningful infrastructure outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

About you

You bring a solid understanding of project governance and assurance frameworks, and you're confident in interpreting data, developing reports, and making sound recommendations. You thrive in a collaborative environment but can also work independently to deliver results. Your ability to engage with stakeholders and provide clear, professional advice will set you apart.

If you're ready to make a difference and be part of a team that's building South Australia's future, we encourage you to apply.
