A unique opportunity now exists to join a new Executive Leadership team as Director Infrastructure Services and help lead the transformation of one of Queensland’s most ambitious Local Government Organisations.
The Role
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Director Infrastructure Services will lead a significant directorate delivering design, construction, maintenance and management services for capital works & assets, open spaces, civil works, and waste and resource recovery across the region.

As a creative thinker, you will be comfortable generating alternatives, visualising new possibilities, challenging assumptions and opening yourself up to new information. Additionally, you will be eager to foster strong partnerships with government agencies, industry stakeholders, and the community to drive innovative and strategic urban development.
Some key priorities will include:
- To oversee the delivery of the 4-year capital works program
- Liaise with the Queensland Reconstruction Authority to ensure all applicable funding is sourced post natural disasters and the organisation is well positioned to deal with future natural disasters
- Ensure that a suite of shovel ready projects is designed and ready to be activated
- Obtain a suitable yield from the Landfill though partnerships with both the public and the private sectors
- Deliver high quality recreational facilities across the Scenic Rim Region
About You
As a highly regarded leader of people, you will most likely bring with you significant exposure within the infrastructure/utilities arenas and have a track record of successful project delivery, leading teams through periods of change and growth and building cultures that you are proud of.
As would be expected of such a high-profile role, advanced communication and advocacy skills are essential, as is the ability to develop effective partnerships across a diverse and broad reaching community.
Familiarity of relevant legislation within the Local Government context would be an advantage as is a knowledge and understanding of the broader changing social, political, and economic issues facing both the Local, State and Federal government sectors. It is further expected that the successful applicant will hold relevant tertiary qualifications in a relevant field.
