The Opportunity

We currently have a Temporary Full-Time opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to join our ROM, Community and Place Branch.

As the Project Manager you will be joining a team supporting ARTC in delivering the Inland Rail project that will connect Melbourne and Brisbane, through regional Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. It is the missing link in our national freight network, providing a fast and reliable connection between our regional centres and capital cities.

This is a client-side role where you will have oversight and governance of grade separating road interface projects, whilst managing a large and varied range of stakeholders, overseeing and delivering outcomes, whilst managing the expectations of the community.

Some key responsibilities of the role include:
Support the development of nominated road and rail infrastructure programs and associated projects.
Building productive, collaborative and cooperative relationships with ARTC and other stakeholders and service providers to ensure best practice project management while delivering complex and challenging projects.
Facilitate development and approval of project-specific quality, safety and environmental requirements, ensure compliance with all relevant safety and quality standards, facilitate environmental planning/approval and manage the implementation to ensure adherence to conditions of approval
Determine project risks, develop a project risk management plan (RMP), facilitate the risk review process and manage, monitor and mitigate project risks through the RMP.
Manage timely and considered responses to customer issues, to ensure that the unit has a customer focus.

This is a Temporary Full-Time position until June 2025. Whilst it is preferred that this role is based in Wagga Wagga or Parkes, we would consider candidates from other regional locations throughout Southern NSW as we offer hybrid working options.

About You

The successful candidate will have previous experience as a client-side Project Manager, having gained this experience working on large, complex programs of work. Exposure to civil engineering and construction is also essential to success in this role.

Exceptional communication, stakeholder management and negotiation skills are a must, as you will be working with internal and external stakeholders at all levels and will act as the interface between Transport for NSW and ARTC.

The successful candidate will thrive in a pressurised environment, and display agility and adaptability in an ever-changing climate. As this team leads politically charged projects with strong social implications, the successful candidate must display a high degree of professionalism, maturity and integrity.

Along with the above, having an affinity to Regional NSW would also position you as a strong contender for the position.
