Our Business

​​​​​​​Transport Assets and Operations (TAO) has a key role to play in planning and maintaining Council's transport network and in implementing the Transport Plan for Brisbane to enable the efficient and sustainable movement of people and freight.

Policy Strategy and Planning (PSP) provide strategic advice on a range of transport matters to support population and employment growth and influence the development of Brisbane's transport network and ensure the best possible outcomes for the city.

The Behaviour Change Team's role is to manage programs that support our infrastructure investment through initiatives to encourage the use of active and sustainable modes of transport which reduce congestion and support a clean, healthy, and more sustainable city.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Role

The Project Officer Behaviour Change role will see you working closely with and regularly visiting schools which are part of the Active School Travel (AST) program. This job brings the best of both worlds with it being office-based but with plenty of opportunities to get out and travel to schools across Brisbane.

You will collaborate closely with the other members of the behaviour change team. The role is varied, and the successful applicant will be keen to be involved in aspects of the program.

We are seeking a highly energetic and proactive project officer with a passion for active transport and making a difference for the people of Brisbane.

In this role you will:

• liaise, engage, consult, and communicate with schools and parent committees to develop strong and trusted relationships
• guiding school committees to brainstorm innovative activities and events to help increase active travel
• analyse active travel statistics to measure behaviour change
• work with suppliers to deliver the AST program
• manage and report on the program's budget and deliverables
• deliver the end of year AST Awards celebrations

Essential: Prior to commencement you will require a 'Blue Card' Working with Children and a valid C Class Driver licence. A Criminal History Check will be undertaken on preferred candidates.

To be successful you will have:

• sound understanding of the principles and processes underpinning effective behaviour change
• sound strategic, conceptual, analytical, and innovation skills
• demonstrated high level of communication and interpersonal skills
• demonstrated ability to prioritise workload and work effectively autonomously or as a member in a multi-disciplinary team
• experience in project management including budget management, reporting, procurement and contracts.
