Job Description
Principal / Director – Build & Lead Infrastructure Advisory (Transport Focus)
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 opportunity 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 solid 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
Platform without constraint– established, but not rigid
n
n
The Bottom Line
n
This is a role for someone who wants to:
n
n
Build a team
n
Win significant work
n
Play a visible role in shaping infrastructure outcomes
n
And be recognised for the impact they create
n
n
Confidential Discussion
n
All enquiries will be handled with strict confidentiality.
