About the Role
This senior leadership role is pivotal in the effective oversight of in-house professional engineers and skilled trades, as well as a large team of external contractors, whose combined efforts ensure all our facilities and infrastructure are fit for purpose.   

Reporting to the Director, Capital, Engineering and Facilities Management, the successful applicant will be expected to set a clear strategic direction for asset management and infrastructure reliability.  Additional key result areas include effectively managing risk as it relates to this portfolio and ensuring all engineering infrastructure projects are delivered within agreed project parameters.
