This role is pivotal in driving optimisation of the road maintenance program across the state road network of NSW through curiosity-led analysis to deliver better outcomes for our customers.
You are a natural problem solver who excels at connecting the dots, ensuring reliable, end-to-end network outcomes.
With a strong attention to detail, you bring an evidence-based mindset to decision-making—using information and research to improve system performance, efficiency, and customer experience.
This is an opportunity to deliver work where you can clearly see the impact.
In this role, you'll:
Drive the strategic integration of Roads, Bridges & Tunnels, and Corridor & Traffic teams to deliver a unified, long-term Asset and Services Plan.
Lead optimisation of investment and maintenance across all asset classes, balancing priorities to maximise whole-of-life value and customer outcomes.
Champion curiosity-driven analysis to identify opportunities for continuous improvement across cost, risk, and performance.
Oversee governance, risk management, and business planning, ensuring transparent, evidence-based decision-making.
Navigate complex internal, cross-border, and external partnerships to deliver aligned operational and legal outcomes.
Champion standardised asset data and reporting, transforming diverse technical insights into a single, trusted source to lead evidence based decisions across Transport.
Foster a collaborative, high-performing culture that breaks down silos and drives innovation across the transport network.
