Your skills will be instrumental in designing and delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance mobility, sustainability, and safety for millions of people.
In this role, you'll:
- Lead the delivery of maintenance and construction programs across the Central West District, monitoring and reporting project progress to ensure delivery as per agreed milestones and cost.
