You put people at the heart and take pride in the impact of your work.

You’re ready to play an essential role behind the scenes by providing vital support, ensuring seamless project execution, and playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of transportation.

In this role, you'll:
Support the Aboriginal Cultural Landscape Management project, part of the Network Resilience Program. You’ll help design, deliver and review cross cultural projects that align the management of transport corridors with the land and sea management goals of Aboriginal communities. The aim is to strengthen corridor resilience and build strong relationships with Aboriginal people, Country and culture. You’ll also help support business and economic development opportunities within specific Aboriginal communities.

Working under the Manager, Aboriginal Engagement, you’ll lead program development and delivery across the state. You’ll collaborate closely with Aboriginal Traditional Owners and Custodians, as well as partners across government.

The Aboriginal Program Specialist ACLM will also be responsible for:

• Co designing processes and work programs that deliver tailored Aboriginal cultural landscape management activities with key stakeholders across the project lifecycle.
• Managing project plan implementation within a set region, meeting scope, time, cost, quality and safety requirements.
• Building and maintaining stakeholder relationships by communicating, negotiating and resolving issues to keep deliverables on track.
• Monitoring and evaluating pilot engagement outcomes and making recommendations to support evidence based planning and decisions.
• Mentoring and overseeing Aboriginal cultural landscape management delivery partners to ensure quality, governance compliance and successful project milestones.
• Developing partnerships across government, land managers, Native Title bodies and Aboriginal organisations, while providing advice to support project development and delivery.

This is a fixed term full-time position (up to 31 December 2027) located at Dubbo.

This role can be filled through remote working and can be based anywhere in New South Wales. This role requires in person attendance on particular days of the week at your local TfNSW office.

These are Aboriginal-identified roles as they involve the development and delivery of services and programs which impact or require liaison with Aboriginal people and/or communities. Our Aboriginal Employment Unit (AEU), run by a team of Aboriginal employees, is available to support current and prospective employees. For more information, email the AEU team at Aboriginal.Employment@transport.nsw.gov.au
