Delivering Better Journeys for Queensland

Luminary is proud to partner with Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to appoint the General Manager, Passenger Transport Services of the Translink Division. This is a senior executive opportunity to lead a high-impact portfolio central to the daily lives of millions of Queenslanders.

Translink, a division of TMR,



plays a vital role in coordinating and enabling an integrated, efficient and accessible passenger transport system. From city buses and ferries to long-distance coach and aviation services, the Passenger Transport Services Branch oversees multi-modal contracts, funding programs and service partnerships across Queensland's diverse geographies.

What You'll Lead

Reporting to the Deputy Director-General of Translink, the General Manager, Passenger Transport Services will lead a state-wide portfolio spanning public transport operations, contract negotiation and service optimisation. This includes oversight of $1.15B in contracted delivery arrangements and leadership of approximately 215 employees.

You'll lead high-value relationships with private sector operators, local governments and regional delivery partners to ensure safe, reliable and value-for-money services across bus, ferry, light rail, long-distance coach and aviation. With major population growth, Olympic readiness planning and customer expectations evolving,



this role is pivotal to ensuring Queensland's public transport network remains connected, resilient and future-focused.

Key Priorities Will Include

- Lead the delivery of Queensland's contracted passenger transport services across all modes
- Negotiate and manage complex commercial arrangements with multiple providers
- Provide strategic advice to the Minister, Director-General and senior executives on system-wide operations
- Foster a customer-first culture across a large and diverse workforce
- Enable service innovation and collaboration to meet growing and changing transport demand.

Who We're Seeking

You are a highly capable senior executive with demonstrated experience leading large-scale service delivery and contractual partnerships in complex environments. With commercial insight and a deep understanding of passenger transport systems, you will bring clarity,



reform and customer focus to a vital portfolio.

You Will Bring

- Extensive executive experience in public or contracted service delivery environments
- A proven track record in complex contract negotiation and performance oversight
- Strong financial and operational management capabilities
- An ability to influence stakeholders across government, industry and communities
- Exceptional leadership capability to drive organisational performance and cultural alignment.

If you are ready to lead public transport at scale, we look forward to hearing from you.
