About the Role

This role leads the civil, Open Space and irrigation team, which provides technical advice on the condition, performance, risk, lifecycle cost and remaining life of various transport, stormwater Open Space and irrigation infrastructure.

The position ensures that the planning, concept development and design of renewal, upgrades and new projects are carried out for either delivery or inclusion in the capital works plan. The position also ensures that the team responds to community requests relating to Civil and Open Space issues, provides internal advice and updates; and develops any relevant policies and procedures.

About You

You will have outstanding contemporary leadership skills and behaviours, with the proven capacity to work collaboratively with the Leadership Team, to positively engage across the Divisions and with key stakeholders to develop innovative strategies, policies, plans and projects to achieve Council’s priorities and aspirations (both regional and organisational). An engineering degree in a relevant discipline and registration as a RPEQ (or obtained within 12 months of appointment), or equivalent Open Space qualifications, and demonstrated track record of success as a Senior Manager in a large diverse organisation is required.

You will have experience in strong financial and budget management, balancing and negotiating available resources to deliver excellence in customer experience and managing the performance of community assets and lifestyle with statutory and legal obligations and demonstrated strategic and policy acuity, with the ability to influence and shape attitudes and behaviours and engage Council, all employees, management and other stakeholders in a team approach to achieving success.

It's imperative you have extensive experience in managing complex projects with demonstrated achievements in planning, design, governance, cost management, implementation, commissioning and reporting to the CEO. This will be coupled with your knowledge of Civil and Open Space design principles, guidelines, relevant documentation, environmental legislation and their application.

Exceptional personal drive, integrity and commitment as a team player, operating successfully to deliver the priorities of the elected Council, especially for those accountabilities that sit outside the specific divisional remit, will work well with your leadership experience in asset lifecycle management of Civil and Open Space infrastructure.
