The opportunity we have available

We have a range of roles available at the heart of infrastructure investment delivery and policy, where your ideas and energy can truly make a difference. LTID is full of diverse and meaningful opportunities where no two days are the same:

- The State Infrastructure Investment Branch es (NSW/ACT, VIC/TAS/SA, WA/NT) are turning big ideas into bridges, roads and future-proof projects in cooperation with our delivery partners in states and territory governments.



We juggle the dollars, tame the risks and keep projects on track across the country. We help guide the Australian Government on what should be built next to keep the nation moving forward.
- The Budget, Policy & Assurance Branch is where strategy meets action. You'll be part of a high-impact team that shapes national land transport investments and works closely with Ministers, Infrastructure Australia, and key stakeholders. It’s a rapid-paced and politically significant environment that’s perfect for people who thrive under pressure and want to be part of something big.* Note: Because of the nature of the work, this branch is primarily based in our Canberra office, right at the heart of decision-making. *
- The Infrastructure Investment Reform Branch is all about improving our frameworks and shaping the future. If you enjoy working collaboratively with stakeholders to turn big-picture ideas into practical reform, this is where you’ll thrive. You’ll help implement the government’s reform agenda, support strategic policy development and provide critical analysis that informs national infrastructure planning.
- The QLD Infrastructure Investment and Brisbane 2032 Games Venues Branch is where you will shape the land transport future of Queensland and support delivery of venues for a landmark global event.



From keeping key regional connections like the Bruce Highway moving to delivering major regional and urban rail projects, we handle a massive pipeline of critical works. This team is at the forefront of the historic Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
