n

Sydney or Interstate | $300k+ | Confidential Search

n

Aequalis Consulting is leading a confidential search for a senior infrastructure advisory leader ready to step into a role with genuine scope to build, shape and lead.

n

This is not a succession role. It is an prospect to establish and scale capability within an already successful advisory platform.

n

The Opportunity to Build Something Meaningful

n

You will be joining a business with strong foundations — established clients, a credible brand, and a growing pipeline — but with a clear ambition to scale its advisory offering in transport and major infrastructure.

n

The brief is simple:

n

n
- Win work
n
- Shape major project outcomes
n
- Build a team around you
n

n

What You'll Own

n

n
- Leadership of major transport and infrastructure advisory engagements
n
- Development and conversion of strategic client opportunities and pursuits
n
- Building deep, trusted relationships across government and private sector clients
n
- Growing a team and capability aligned to your strengths and market focus
n
- Influencing the direction and growth of the broader advisory business
n

n

You will have the autonomy to define your market, your clients, and your team structure.

n

Who This Appeals To

n

This role is designed for a senior leader who wants more than just another position.

n

It will particularly suit someone who:

n

n
- Feels constrained by bureaucracy,



brand limitations, or internal politics
n
- Wants the freedom to build a practice or bring a team with them
n
- Has strong relationships but lacks the platform to fully leverage them
n
- Is motivated by impact, growth, and ownership (without immediate equity dependency)
n

n

Your Background

n

You are likely to bring:

n

n
- 20+ years in infrastructure, transport, or major project environments
n
- Experience within advisory/consulting or senior client-side leadership roles
n
- A proven ability to win work, influence decisions, and deliver outcomes
n
- Established networks across transport and/or broader infrastructure sectors
n
- A track record of leading teams and building capability
n

n

Most importantly, you have the credibility and ambition to grow something — not just manage it.

n

Why This Role

n

n
- Real autonomy– shape your portfolio, clients, and team
n
- Growth mandate– backed to expand capability and market presence
n
- Flexible geography– Sydney or interstate
n
- Strong cultural fit– high-performing, low-ego environment
n

n

n

The Bottom Line

n

This is a role for someone who wants to:

n

n
- Build a team
n

n
- And be recognised for the impact they create
n

n
