Role: Executive Advisor, Rail Technologies
Location: Flexible (Any State within Australia)
Head office: Melbourne, VIC

ACRWORLD have partnered with NTC (National Transport Commission) to help recruit for this uniquely and once in a lifetime created role, which will help shape the future of rail technology across Australia and create a pathway of change for a better rail industry.

About the Company
NTC (National Transport Commission) lead national land transport reform in support of Australian governments to improve safety, productivity, environmental outcomes, and regulatory efficiency. Established under Commonwealth legislation and through an inter-governmental agreement, we are funded by the Commonwealth, states, and territories.

As a key contributor to the national reform agenda, the NTC is accountable to the Commonwealth, state and territory ministers responsible for transport and infrastructure who make up membership of the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM). We work closely with ITMM’s advisory body, the Infrastructure and Transport Senior Officials’ Committee (ITSOC), which includes the heads of Commonwealth, state, and territory agencies.

While our offices are based in Melbourne the NTC has a national focus and works with all Australian governments. We have excellent remote working arrangements, and we would welcome interstate applicants.

About the role
This is a senior leadership role within the NTC for an experienced rail industry expert and strategic policy facilitator who can work with governments, industry leaders and national regulators to support national rail reform. This role will lead the delivery of the NRAP work program spanning rail technology to help lift rail productivity, improve connections, and decarbonise the economy.

This role requires deep knowledge of rail and signalling technologies and expert leadership to support an ambitious four-year national rail reform program in collaboration with jurisdictions and industry leaders.

Governments around Australia and the world are recognising the need to invest in the rail sector at a time of rapid technology advancement to remove operational constraints to allow more people and goods to move safely by rail with less environmental impact. Improving the interoperability of rail systems is now a priority of the National Cabinet and Infrastructure and Transport Ministers.

The $155B pipeline of rail investments across Australia by governments over the next 15 years presents an opportunity to address longstanding legacy issues including rail skills shortages and operational inefficiencies, while supporting more jobs, local manufacturing, and modernisation of rail technology.

Key relationships
The Executive Advisor, Rail Technologies will bring strong industry experience and stakeholder relationships to the NTC and be able to work with technical and policy colleagues across eight jurisdictions, national regulators, industry and workforce bodies and the private sector, to support a more productive, safe, and sustainable national rail system.

This position reports to the Executive Leader, Facilitated Reform and works alongside the heads of national rail productivity and skills reform, and the Director of National Rail Integration, to deliver on a new stage of the National Rail Action Plan.
External interactions include engagement at policy and technical forums with national and international industry bodies, leaders of private sector operators and the heads of transport portfolio agencies.

The role is part of the NTC extended leadership group.

Main duties
  • Provide expert advice to a growing team of professionals to meet the National Cabinet and ministerial priorities to advance nation rail interoperability.
  • Lead and support high-level stakeholder engagement with governments, the private sector and industry experts to advance interoperability and harmonisation reforms.
  • Build the NTC’s in-house rail technology expertise to help address the national skills shortages, increasing compatibility of future investments in rail, and developing a common agenda around transport decarbonisation
  • Build the NTC’s rail technology capability to advise senior leaders on the options to improve passenger and freight rail services across Australia.
  • Ensure integration across the five priority work streams of the rail reform program to tangibly improve the interoperability of passenger and freight rail services across Australia.
  • Support the development of critical national interoperability standards and a national standards framework through extensive industry engagement.
  • Develop compelling and well-written analysis and advice to Ministers that leads to a more productive, safe, and sustainable rail industry.
  • Support the Executive Leader to manage a program budget and oversee a senior team of advisors and external consultants to deliver on project milestones through a collegiate approach.
Other duties
  • Comply with NTC risk management practices and assume responsibility for managing risk within own area of control or activity.
  • Comply with relevant legislation such as Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cwlth), Privacy Act 1988 (Cwlth) and NTC policies and procedures at all times.
Key selection criteria
  • Expert knowledge of rail sector technology, ideally gained through industry experience in signalling or engineering domains.
  • Proven track record of delivering strategic policy outcomes in partnership with others in government and industry.
  • Exceptional project management skills and ability to plan and deliver within time constraints.
  • Demonstrated ability to build consensus on multiple reform projects and navigate complex governance within a federation effectively and efficiently.
  • Advanced leadership and people management skills with a demonstrated ability to motivate and develop a collaborative team and workplace culture and promote respectful relationships.
  • Commitment to advancing national transport reform as part of a collaborative team.
  • Demonstrated strategic thinking and planning ability across public and private sectors.
  • Proven ability to establish a public profile in the transport sector with the capacity to represent the organisation positively and engage productively with external audiences.
