PX Resources is partnering exclusively with an ASX-listed essential infrastructure services business, to appoint a Head of Internal Audit.

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced Senior Internal Audit Manager who is ready to step into a Head of role and take genuine ownership of an enterprise-wide audit program. It could also suit a hands-on Head of Internal Audit from a smaller function who wants broader operational exposure.

Please note : This is not a large-team oversight role. This is an execution role so the successful candidate will need to enjoy staying close to the detail, personally delivering audits and working directly with the business to get outcomes.

The Opportunity

- Own and continuously improve the risk-based Internal Audit strategy, framework and annual audit plan.
- Lead execution of audits end-to-end, from scoping and fieldwork through to reporting and remediation follow-up.
- Lead and develop one Internal Auditor (team member) and coordinate specialist work through co-source partners.
- Work closely with senior leaders across a complex national operating business and provide clear, practical assurance and advice.
- Prepare reporting and insights for executive leadership and the Audit & Risk Committee.
- Help mature assurance mapping, controls and governance across the organisation.
- Use technology and contemporary audit practices to improve the efficiency and impact of the function.

CANDIDATE PROFILE





- 7-10+ years across internal audit, risk or assurance in a complex organisation and/or professional services workplace.
- Exposure to utilities, infrastructure, energy or telco sectors highly regarded
- Experience developing and delivering risk-based internal audit plans.
- Genuinely comfortable in a hands on environment, running audits personally and translating findings into practical, commercially sensible recommendations - once again, this is an execution role not an oversight role
- Experience engaging senior executives and preparing or presenting reporting for Audit & Risk Committees or similar forums.
- Strong stakeholder management and EQ - able to challenge constructively without becoming overly rigid or theoretical.
- Relevant qualifications, CA, CPA, CIA, CISA or similar professional qualifications

Why consider it?

- Real ownership of the audit program, strategy, planning and execution
- Genuinely opportunity to shape how the function operates
- Broad exposure across a large ASX-listed operating business rather than a narrow audit portfolio
- Leadership responsibility plus some co-source support, while remaining hands-on.
- Strong business engagement with continued growth, new long-term contracts and expansion into adjacent markets.
