Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)...Your chance to work with the best!
Cross River Rail will transform the way we travel to, from and through Brisbane in the future. It is a catalyst for wider rail transformation underway across the South East Queensland and it is already playing a key role in how we prepare for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Cross River Rail is a new 10.2km rail line including 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD. The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is also tasked with multiple supporting projects and activities, including accessibility rebuilds for eight surface stations, construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast, upgrades for stabling yards, track works and surface rail enhancements, and the introduction of a new world-class digital train signalling system.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to contribute to region-shaping infrastructure projects and to be a part of something that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
About the Role
The Delivery Sequencing Manager is responsible for the program management and planning of extended track possessions across all Cross River Rail work packages. The role works closely with delivery contractors (PPP, Alliance and D&C) and key stakeholders (including Transport and Main Roads and Queensland Rail) to ensure delivery staging is logical, achievable within operational and customer constraints, and aligned with project priorities.
With a significant pipeline of SEQ rail projects underway, the role also interfaces with other Transport and Main Roads rail projects to ensure CRR delivery is integrated and considers cumulative rail network impacts and requirements. This position reports to the Senior Possessions and Delivery Sequencing Manager and forms part of the Customer and Network Integration team.
Key Responsibilities:
Chair multi-agency working groups to develop and endorse extended possession applications, monitor readiness, and support robust, timely decision-making.
Support contractors in applying for extended possessions, including access justification aligned with construction requirements.
Coordinate state agencies to identify opportunities for extended possessions during low-demand periods and develop possession regimes aligned to broader rail activities.
Monitor changes or risks in construction schedules that may impact possession plans, and lead the development of mitigation and contingency strategies.
Prepare governance materials (e.g., feasibility assessments, options analyses, readiness assurance documents) and present structured information at the Delivery Sequencing Steering Committee.
Manage communication with stakeholders across disciplines regarding possession program changes, ensuring accurate, timely updates and risk escalations.
Maintain key processes, tools, and documentation in line with project requirements and governance frameworks.
Lead and manage the Delivery Sequencing team, setting KPIs, supporting professional development, and aligning team efforts with project priorities.
About You:
Experience in possession planning and/or works sequencing in complex, multi-agency public transport environments
Ability to proactively identify risks, issues and opportunities and implement mitigation strategies
Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including leading and presenting at multi-agency forums
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with proven ability to brief and report effectively
High-level program management skills to coordinate inputs and delivery within governance frameworks and tight timelines
Demonstrated team leadership, setting expectations, supporting development and driving performance
