Asset Manager - Civil & Infrastructure

Western Australia | Permanent Full-Time An exciting prospect is available for an experienced Asset Manager to join a well-established Western Australian contractor delivering major civil construction, infrastructure maintenance..

This is a key leadership position responsible for overseeing the performance, reliability, utilisation and lifecycle management of a diverse fleet of plant, vehicles, equipment and operational assets supporting multiple areas of the business.

With operations spanning civil infrastructure, road and rail structures, marine infrastructure, facilities maintenance and steel fabrication, this is an excellent opportunity for an Asset Manager who enjoys working in a varied operational environment and wants genuine ownership of an organisation's asset strategy.

The Opportunity

Reporting to senior leadership, you will take responsibility for developing and implementing effective asset management strategies that maximise availability, utilisation, reliability and return on investment across the company's asset portfolio.

You will work closely with Operations, Projects, Workshop, Finance, Procurement and senior management to ensure the business has the right assets, in the right condition, at the right time and at the right cost.

This is not simply a maintenance-focused position. The role will have a strong commercial and strategic focus, with responsibility for understanding whole-of-life asset costs, capital requirements, replacement strategies and opportunities to improve the utilisation and performance of the fleet.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the lifecycle of a diverse portfolio of heavy plant, vehicles, machinery, equipment and operational assets.

Develop and implement effective asset management and replacement strategies.

Oversee asset utilisation, availability, reliability and performance across multiple operations.





Develop capital expenditure plans and provide recommendations around asset acquisition, replacement and disposal.

Monitor whole-of-life asset costs and identify opportunities to reduce operating and maintenance expenditure.

Work closely with maintenance and workshop teams to ensure effective preventative and corrective maintenance programs.

Establish and monitor asset performance KPIs and reporting systems.

Analyse fleet utilisation and identify opportunities to improve asset productivity.

Assist with forecasting future plant and equipment requirements based on project pipelines and operational demands.

Support procurement activities, including equipment selection, specifications, acquisition and supplier negotiations.

Review asset condition and determine appropriate repair, replacement or disposal strategies.

Ensure asset registers and associated information remain accurate and up to date.

Develop budgets and forecasts relating to fleet, plant and equipment.

Work collaboratively with project and operational teams to optimise asset allocation.

Identify opportunities for standardisation across the company's asset base.

Ensure assets are managed in accordance with relevant safety, compliance and legislative requirements.

Provide regular reporting and strategic recommendations to senior leadership.

About You

We are looking for an experienced Asset Manager, Fleet Manager, Plant Manager or Senior Asset Management professional who has worked within a civil construction, infrastructure, mining, rail, transport, utilities or similarly asset-intensive environment.

You will ideally have





Demonstrated experience managing a significant fleet of heavy plant, vehicles and equipment.

Strong understanding of asset lifecycle management and maintenance principles.

Experience developing CAPEX budgets, replacement programs and asset strategies.

Strong commercial acumen with an understanding of utilisation, operating costs and return on investment.

Experience working closely with workshops, maintenance and operational teams.

Strong analytical and reporting capabilities.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

The ability to influence senior management and make commercially sound recommendations.

A practical understanding of heavy equipment and the challenges associated with operating assets across multiple sites.

Strong organisational and planning skills.

A proactive approach to continuous improvement.

A trade qualification in heavy diesel, mobile plant, mechanical engineering or a related discipline would be highly regarded, particularly supported by strong asset management and commercial experience.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a growing and diverse WA contractor where you will have real influence over the company's asset strategy.

You will be working across a broad range of operations rather than managing a single fleet or site, providing exposure to civil construction, rail, marine, infrastructure maintenance and fabrication.

The successful candidate will have the autonomy to make improvements, implement better systems and processes, influence capital investment decisions and help drive the long-term performance of the company's asset base.

If you're an experienced Asset Manager looking for a position where your commercial and operational expertise will genuinely make a difference, we'd like to hear from you.
