Job reference: 697083

Location: ADELAIDE

Job status: Short Term Contract

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.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to step into a key role where your organisational and problem-solving skills will truly make an impact. As Senior Business Support Officer, you'll be the trusted partner to the Executive Director and leadership team, ensuring the division runs smoothly and efficiently.

From coordinating complex business support functions to streamlining processes and contributing to key projects, you'll have the scope to work autonomously while also guiding and supporting others. You'll be a central point of contact, building strong relationships across the organisation and with external stakeholders to keep initiatives moving forward.

If you're looking for a role where your initiative, professionalism, and eye for detail are valued — and where you can contribute to continuous improvement in a supportive, collaborative environment — this is the opportunity for you.

You communicate clearly and work well with people at all levels, building positive relationships and finding constructive ways to resolve issues. You are comfortable juggling competing priorities, staying organised, and using sound judgement to keep tasks moving.

Detail-oriented and thorough, you take care to produce accurate work and provide timely advice. Whether working independently or as part of a team, you bring a cooperative attitude and a focus on helping the division achieve its goals.
