Key Selection Criteria

In this role, you will use your deep understanding of transport planning and construction to ensure projects meet performance standards, align with Government strategies, and deliver value through whole-of-life cost optimisation.

You will bring strong leadership qualities and a commitment to fostering a positive team culture. Your ability to communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, will be essential in preparing project documentation and representing DTP's interests in negotiations.
