About the role

The Project Director reports to the Executive Director, Delivery and is accountable for the leadership, governance and end-to-end delivery of a major project or defined package of works within VIDA Rail. The role leads multi-disciplinary teams across development, procurement and delivery phases to achieve approved scope, budget, schedule, safety and quality outcomes.

Lead engineering and construction teams to deliver the project within approved scope, time and budget parameters.
Establish and maintain effective relationships with government departments, regulators, agencies, councils, operators and other key stakeholders to support successful project delivery.

The capabilities you bring to this role

Demonstrated expertise in project governance, construction management, procurement strategy, contract management and commercial administration in complex infrastructure environments.
Demonstrated capacity to manage a broad range of matters affecting project delivery, including legal, land, planning, environmental and political considerations.
Strong understanding of government policy objectives, transport strategies, project governance requirements and industry issues relevant to major project delivery.
