Chief Executive

• Vision, Leadership & Growth
• Lead a dynamic high performing team
• Create an equitable reality for the planet and its people

Engineers Without Borders’ mission is to redefine the purpose and impact of engineering practice as a critical enabler of sustainable development. Their work is impact-led, and guided by evidence with a focus on long-term positive change in the neighbouring regions they support as well as Indigenous Australian communities.

As Chief Executive reporting to a progressive and committed Board, you will be strategic and outcomes-driven, agile and adaptable, and able to champion EWB to a broad range of internal and external stakeholders. You will build effective stakeholder engagement at all levels, and provide strong leadership to employees domestic and others engaged abroad. This pivotal role will maximise the value proposition that EWB provides and promote awareness of its vast programs – in support of a world where technology benefits all.

To succeed in this pivotal role, you must be an inspiring and effective leader, with superior interpersonal skills and business acumen, who can build trusting relationships with a broad range of stakeholders, supporters and volunteers  – with the insight and resolve to challenge the status quo, drive transformational change and the ability and presence to quickly build a media profile.

Demonstrated executive leadership experience in an NGO / For-Purpose environment is a must. You will also need strong fundraising ability as well as financial management experience. You will embody EWB’s  values, robust ethical policies and accreditation, with dedication to people, projects and partnerships.
