The Opportunity
Inland Rail has entered a critical construction phase on the Illabo to Stockinbingal (I2S) section—one of the most significant Greenfield rail infrastructure developments in Australia.
This is a rare opportunity to join a nation-building project, delivering a new rail corridor across regional NSW. You’ll be part of a high-performing, site-based delivery team, working closely with contractors and stakeholders to bring a complex, large-scale infrastructure project to life.

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the planning and delivery of construction activities across the I2S project.
This is a hands-on, site-based role on a FIFO 10:4 roster, where you will work closely with contractors, consultants, and project teams to ensure works are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to specification.
