The organisation's mission is to keep Sydney moving by maintaining world-class infrastructure, ensuring operational excellence, and driving continuous improvement across all asset management functions.
The Asset Management Division is responsible for ensuring the long-term sustainability, performance, and reliability of the state's transport assets — from critical rail infrastructure and Metro systems to complex mechanical, electrical, and signalling assets.
The Opportunity We are seeking two experienced Senior Engineering Analysts to join the Technical Maintenance Plans (TMP) team within a leading NSW State Government agency.

The positions cover a wide range of disciplines, including Infrastructure, Civil, Track, Facilities, Fleet, Mechanical, Electrical, and Signalling — offering the chance to work on some of the most technically advanced Metro projects in NSW.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and facilitate technical workshops with multi-disciplinary teams to develop and refine Maintenance Requirements Analyses (FMECA, RCM, PMO) and TMPs.
* Conduct field quality assessments to evaluate maintenance effectiveness and asset reliability.
* Investigate and analyse adverse performance trends and failure data to identify improvement opportunities.
* Maintain data accuracy across technical databases and record-keeping systems.

* Evaluate new and proposed designs to assess maintenance implications and cost impacts.
Key Challenges
* Keeping current with evolving maintenance technologies, policies, and standards.
* Managing competing project priorities while ensuring technical rigour and cost effectiveness.
* Achieving alignment and collaboration across diverse stakeholder groups and technical teams.
