Play an important role managing infrastructure assets for NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS).  This is a great opportunity to join a highly committed team supporting the conservation and protection of the environment.

About the role

Leading a small team of project managers and asset officers you’ll develop asset management capability for a diverse range of assets within some of the most spectacular and varied national parks and reserves in NSW, stretching from the rainforest and mountains of the Northern Tablelands and New England to the floodplains and arid areas of far north west plains NSW.  The assets include buildings, visitor facilities, roads and trails, walking tracks, utilities and plant and equipment.

It is an exciting opportunity and we are looking for someone with the drive, energy and experience to lead a team to deliver key government asset upgrade and maintenance programs at a time when there is significant investment and focus on driving improvements in our assets and their management.

You’ll be relied upon to prioritise, identify and implement maintenance and decommissioning priorities through whole of life planning with a focus to deliver branch-wide asset maintenance.  This will involve developing cyclical maintenance plans for major assets classes and improving the quality of data through the consistent use of the Asset Management System.  You will also lead the implementation of multiple capital upgrades currently underway including an ambitious asset renewal program.

To be successful in the role you’ll need to have:

• Appropriate tertiary qualifications or demonstrated equivalent, relevant professional experience.
• Demonstrated project management skills and experience along with strong organisational skills to plan, manage and deliver multiple projects on time and within resources.
• Thorough understanding and knowledge of financial, governance and risk management standards and practices associated with project management.
