Senior Project Officer

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport plays a vital role connecting people and places in South Australia by managing roads, marine and public transport networks across the State, and builds and maintains the State-owned infrastructure that enables the delivery of essential and important government services to our community.
The Opportunity  
Help shape the future of heavy vehicle regulation, freight productivity and road transport policy in South Australia. This is an opportunity to work on nationally significant reforms that influence how heavy vehicles operate across Australia, while delivering tangible outcomes for industry, regional communities and the broader economy.

As part of the Heavy Vehicle Policy team, you will be part of the development and implementation of policy across a range of areas including the Heavy Vehicle National Law, freight productivity, access reform, emergency response and emerging heavy vehicle technologies. You will work closely with state and national stakeholders to deliver innovative, practical and evidence-based solutions that improve safety, productivity and network efficiency.

If you are motivated by complex policy challenges, stakeholder engagement and the opportunity to influence national transport reform, this role will place you at the centre of South Australia's heavy vehicle policy agenda.
