Infrastructure Planning Engineer

About The Role:

As our Infrastructure Planning Engineer, you will lead the development and coordination of integrated infrastructure renewal programs across transport and civil assets. This role is key to ensuring our renewal priorities are evidence-based, strategically planned and aligned to service needs, asset strategies and future capital works programs.

You will provide senior specialist advice in pavement engineering, lifecycle renewal and infrastructure integration, while coordinating complex investigations, asset condition analysis, consultant inputs and stakeholder engagement to inform practical and sustainable renewal outcomes.

Working across Council teams, utilities, government agencies, consultants and delivery partners, you will identify opportunities to integrate renewal works with broader transport, stormwater, public realm, accessibility, urban greening and climate resilience initiatives. Your work will help improve asset performance, reduce whole-of-life impacts and support better outcomes for our community.

About You: 

• You have a tertiary qualification in Civil Engineering, or an equivalent discipline.
• You bring strong experience in infrastructure renewal planning, asset management, pavement engineering and capital works programming.
• You are confident interpreting asset condition data, lifecycle assessments, technical investigations and stakeholder input to support evidence-based renewal recommendations.
• You have highly developed planning, analytical and systems-thinking skills, with the ability to assess competing priorities, technical risks and whole-of-life asset considerations.
• You can lead and coordinate complex investigations, consultant inputs and work programs with limited direction, while influencing outcomes across a range of stakeholder groups.
• You communicate clearly and confidently, providing specialist advice to managers, project teams, consultants and delivery partners.
• You are interested in sustainable infrastructure outcomes and can identify opportunities to improve asset performance, reduce re-work and support climate resilience.
• You hold, or are willing to obtain, a current car licence. Further training in asset management, pavement engineering or infrastructure planning will be highly regarded.
