About the Opportunity

Are you a people first leader with a passion for infrastructure and community impact?

We're looking for a capable leader to guide our civil maintenance team through change, growth, and excellence. This is more than a technical role, it's about inspiring and empowering a dedicated field crew to deliver high-quality services that make a real difference in our community.

As Team Leader Civil Maintenance, you'll be at the forefront of maintaining our roadsides, drainage systems, and bridges, but your greatest impact will be on the people you lead. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, have a knack for bringing out the best in others, and know how to navigate change with confidence and care, we want to hear from you.

You will make an impact by

  • Leading and mentoring a skilled civil maintenance team to deliver high-quality services.
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant legislation including the Road Management Act and OH&S standards.
  • Managing budgets and resources to maximise efficiency and value for money.
  • Overseeing inspections and maintenance of roadsides, drainage systems, and bridges.
  • Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to solve infrastructure challenges.

What you will bring

  • Leading with confidence and clarity – mentor and motivate a skilled civil maintenance team, fostering a culture of safety, respect, and continuous improvement.
  • Driving operational excellence – oversee inspections, maintenance, and compliance with key legislation including the Road Management Act and OH&S standards.
  • Managing resources wisely – balance budgets, allocate resources, and ensure value for money across all projects.
  • Collaborating for impact – work closely with internal teams, contractors, and community stakeholders to solve infrastructure challenges.
  • Championing change – guide your team through evolving priorities and new ways of working with confidence and care.

This role is ideal for someone who's led construction or operational teams and is ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. If you're passionate about people, infrastructure, and community service and you know how to lead with both heart and strategy, this is your opportunity to shine.

Why work with us

  • Opportunities to work on innovative and impactful initiatives that make a real difference to the community.
  • Professional development opportunities, including training and education programs, and leadership development initiatives.
  • A commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, with initiatives to reduce the Council's carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices in the community.
