About the role

Keep our roads moving and communities connected. We're on the lookout for a sharp thinking, solutions driven Maintenance Manager to lead the protected and efficient delivery of maintenance services across our Victorian network.

• Work closely with commercial partners to optimise service delivery, budgets and contract outcomes
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement across maintenance practices and systems
• Support response to network incidents and maintenance-related emergencies—including after‐hours needs

Qualifications

• A degree in Engineering, Business, or Project Management—or at least 10 years' equivalent experience in roads/utilities infrastructure
• At least 5 years' experience in contract management within complex maintenance environments
• Solid understanding of HSE practices, asset risk management and stakeholder engagement
• Proven people leadership and the ability to influence outcomes and build cross‐functional relationships

• Career growth and leadership development opportunities
• Wellbeing support—from Headspace to EAP and wellness facilities

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio‐economic background, perspective, and experience—whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns.
