About Council

Woorabinda Aboriginal Shire Council is seeking an Interim Director of Infrastructure to lead a team of internal staff and external consultants/project managers and work with government agencies to ensure on time, on budget delivery of building and water infrastructure projects.

With a committed Council, strong funding pipeline, and a community eager for progress, this is a rare opportunity to lead a Council that is ready to thrive.

The Role

You will report to the interim CEO and deliver on a variety of projects currently underway. As a member of the Executive Management Team, you will actively contribute to the strategic and performance management of the organisation; provide leadership and foster cooperation and communication across all departments.

• Water & Wastewater ($36M water treatment plant)
• Building and Infrastructure (commencement of exciting new housing project)

The role is about focusing on what ‘can be done’ and delivered vs continuing to chase additional projects.
