Parkinson QLD, Australia O'Brien Boiler Services Full time $85,000 - $95,000 per year

Position Purpose:

O'Brien Boiler Services is building a Centre of Excellence (CoE) – a strategic initiative to shape the future of industrial workforce development, energy transition capability, and knowledge-as-a-service delivery.

We're looking for a hands-on leader and strategic thinker to help us bring this vision to life.

The Role:

As the CoE Operations & Compliance Lead, you'll be responsible for establishing, scaling, and operating the Centre of Excellence. This includes driving the acquisition and integration of an RTO, navigating ASQA re-registration, and embedding best-practice compliance, quality, and operational systems.

You'll oversee day-to-day CoE operations – from student enrolments to audit readiness – while also engaging with regulators, enterprise clients, and industry partners.

This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up and position O'Brien as a national leader in industrial workforce capability and risk governance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the establishment of the CoE, including systems, frameworks, and operational structures.
  • Drive RTO acquisition and ASQA re-registration processes, ensuring full compliance and quality assurance.
  • Oversee student services, enrolments, and course delivery support with strong governance.
  • Build and lead compliance, quality assurance, and audit frameworks (ASQA, ISO, WorkSafe, funding).
  • Act as primary liaison for regulators, enterprise clients, and industry partners.
  • Collaborate with leadership to deliver strategic growth, partnerships, and new service offerings.

Essential Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years in senior RTO operations, compliance, or quality leadership roles
  • Proven track record in ASQA re-registration, audits, and compliance frameworks
  • Strong understanding of the VET Quality Framework, Standards for RTOs 2015, and funding requirements
  • Demonstrated success in scaling training operations or leading organisational transformation
  • Excellent leadership, project management, and stakeholder engagement skills

Desirable:

  • Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122 or successor)
  • Postgraduate qualifications in education, compliance, governance, or business
  • Exposure to industrial/technical training or energy sector environments
  • Experience in acquisitions, partnerships, or ISO-aligned quality systems

What We Offer:

  • The chance to lead and shape a national Centre of Excellence from inception
  • A strategic yet hands-on leadership role with exposure to executive decision-making
  • Opportunities to work on energy transition, workforce capability, and innovation in training
  • A collaborative, values-driven culture that values compliance, quality, and trust.

Ready to Build the Future?

If you're excited by the challenge of creating and scaling a Centre of Excellence, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now with your CV and a short cover letter outlining your experience in RTO operations, compliance, and organisational growth
