Full Job Description

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges that are slowing cities down.

About the role

We're seeking a Head of Asset Performance NSW to lead the efficient and effective management of maintenance across Transurban's full NSW asset portfolio.

You'll join a senior leadership team that takes a best-practice, commercially disciplined approach to asset management — partnering closely with service providers, government stakeholders and internal teams to deliver infrastructure that millions of people rely on every day.

As our Head of Asset Performance NSW, you'll sit at the intersection of commercial performance, technical assurance and people leadership — owning a complex, high-stakes portfolio where the decisions you make directly impact the safety, reliability and long-term value of some of Australia's most critical road infrastructure. No two days look the same, and the scale of what you'll be accountable for is significant.

Day-to-day, you will:

Lead the development and execution of Annual Maintenance Plans and asset management strategies, balancing risk, compliance and commercial performance across a complex infrastructure portfolio. Key assets include Westconnex, Northconnex, Hills M2, M5 East, M5 Southwest, Lane Cover Tunnel, Eastern Distributor and Cross City Tunnel.

Manage commercial and operational relationships with key Service Providers, driving accountability for delivery, quality and contract performance

Provide budgetary management for maintenance operational expenditure across NSW, with a focus on fiscal discipline and value optimisation

Lead Technical Assurance inspection capability, embedding a culture of high-quality data collection to inform asset decisions

Partner with senior internal and external stakeholders — including State Government, Concession Partners and O&M contractors — to drive mutually beneficial network outcomes

Lead and develop a high-performing team, fostering a one-team mindset and a strong safety, risk and performance culture

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferable skills and experiences, including:

Proven operations and contract management experience in a major infrastructure or maintenance environment, with strong commercial and financial acumen

Demonstrated experience in compliance, HSE and risk management, including the preparation and implementation of incident management plans

Significant stakeholder management experience, including engagement with government, contractors and community partners at a senior level

Strong people leadership capability, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams

A degree in Engineering, Management, Commerce or a related discipline — postgraduate qualifications and experience with road or tunnel technology (tolling, traffic management, safety systems) highly regarded

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.

With a career at Transurban, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year

16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), with no waiting period, with Superannuation paid during unpaid leave as well

Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests

Health and wellbeing support—access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more

Share offers and insurance benefits

Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days

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.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living with disability. If you require any adjustments or support during the recruitment process, please contact us on [email protected].
