You may have been part of some big projects before, but this work is legacy-building.
You're called upon to help decision makers identify the options that best match their objectives. This is your opportunity to deliver exceptional services to the people of NSW, create innovative solutions, and foster strong partnerships.
In this role, you'll:
Work as part of a highly capable team delivering commercial governance and contract management for critical transport infrastructure assets within the Rail Industry (preferably the CRN) dealing with complex third-party contracts.
You will provide specialist commercial advice and oversight to ensure value-for-money outcomes and operational efficiency across rail asset infrastructure management projects and programs.
You will lead the implementation of robust commercial frameworks, negotiate complex third-party contracts, and drive risk management strategies in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and strategic decisions shape the future of NSW transport infrastructure.
Your expertise in procurement, contract management, and commercial advisory formed across government, infrastructure, or large-scale asset management sectors will see you navigate complex negotiations, resolve disputes efficiently, and deliver commercially sound outcomes that align with key strategic objectives.
This is a permanent Hybrid role with five days a month to be spent at your home hub and a further five days to be spent at either your home hub or another TfNSW location. Whilst we prefer the role to be based in Newcastle, this is not essential.
