The HoS ensures that discipline practices, curriculum, assessment, and teaching teams operate effectively within established institutional frameworks and provide high-quality academic input into accreditation and quality assurance activities. The role exists to ensure that engineering education is academically rigorous, industry-aligned, and delivered consistently across campuses and modes, while maintaining a strong, supportive academic culture within the school.

Contribute to course development, program review, unit refresh cycles, and transition between VET–HE pathways.

Ensure teaching and learning materials are current, accessible, and fit for blended and online delivery.

Support innovation in pedagogy, assessment, and learning technologies.

Accreditation, Compliance & Quality Assurance

Provide discipline-level academic input, evidence, and subject-matter expertise for accreditation, reaccreditation, and audit processes.

Ensure academic staff understand and meet compliance obligations, record‑keeping, and moderation requirements.

Support implementation of accreditation conditions and review recommendations within the school.

Ensure discipline staff comply with institutional academic policies, moderation requirements, and documentation expectations

Staff Capability & Performance (Academic)

Mentor and support academic staff development in pedagogy, assessment, and industry engagement.

Contribute discipline input into academic workload planning and teaching allocations.

Support performance development processes for academic staff, in collaboration with the Digital Learning Manager and Academic Manager.

Identify discipline capability gaps and recommend targeted professional development.

Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and high‑performance academic culture.

Student Experience & Academic Issues

Monitor student engagement, progression, and outcomes within the school.

Support resolution of discipline-level academic matters, including progression concerns and academic integrity issues.

Act as the first point of academic escalation within the school, referring formal appeals and high-risk matters in accordance with policy.

Work collaboratively with student support teams to enhance student experience and retention.

Industry Engagement & External Relations

Ensure discipline curricula remain current, relevant, and informed by industry practice.

Maintain strong industry connections to support curriculum relevance, guest lectures, site visits, industry projects, and work-integrated learning.

Provide academic input into new course proposals, unit revisions, and VET–HE pathway design.

Governance, Reporting & Strategy

Contribute to academic committees and curriculum discussions.

Provide discipline reports and insights to the Dean as required.

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives aligned with institutional strategy.

Strong industry awareness and networks within the engineering sector.

Commitment to applied, industry aligned education and employability outcomes.

Ability to translate industry needs into curriculum and learning experiences.

Eligibility Criteria:

Relevant postgraduate qualification (PhD) in an engineering discipline aligned with the school’s programs (Civil/Mechanical ; Electrical/Instrumentation/Automation) .

Demonstrated academic leadership or course coordination experience.

Proven capability in tertiary teaching, assessment design, moderation, and curriculum development.

Familiarity with AQF, HESF, VET Quality Framework, TEQSA, ASQA, and relevant professional accreditation requirements.
