Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)…Your chance to work with the best!

The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is building a new 10.2km rail line that includes 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD; with four new underground stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street.

Once complete, it will provide trains with a much-needed alternative rail path through the core of the current SEQ Rail network, unlocking a bottleneck and allowing more trains to run more often across the whole of South East Queensland.

The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is also delivering multiple supporting projects and activities in conjunction with the Department of Transport and Main Roads. These include accessibility rebuilds for eight surface stations, construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast; upgrades for stabling yards; track works and surface rail enhancements; and the introduction of a recent ETCS digital signalling system.

You will work to ensure customer facing infrastructure, wayfinding, signage and accessibility features are ready for use before they are introduced into the rail network.

You will undertake site inspections, reviews, audits and testing activities to identify and resolve issues that could impact the customer experience. Working closely with project teams, delivery partners and operational stakeholders, you will provide practical advice and evidence to support readiness decisions and help deliver positive customer outcomes.
