GM Infrastructure Planning Approvals

Location: melbourne
Salary: Competitive salary, depending on experience
Job Type: permanent
Contact: David Braham
We are excited to partner with our client on a national infrastructure project that will fundamentally change the future of freight movement across Australia. Part of an independently run organisation, several very significant $1bn+ projects will be delivered across the East Coast over the next 3-5 years, with some projects already part operational. Six Degrees are exclusively recruiting some key national leadership roles as part of the delivery team to design, build and deliver the remaining projects.
 
As General Manager, Planning Approvals & Sustainability, you will be responsible for the overall strategy, leadership and performance of the specialist planning, environment, and compliance team. You will play a critical role in the early phase of development of the two major multi-billion dollar Victorian projects, as well as a national role on the NSW and QLD projects, in securing and maintaining timely, effective, and compliant project development, construction and operational approvals/consents required by the relevant government jurisdictions. In addition, you will play a role in ensuring sustainable urban design and environmental performance. Influencing and maintaining complex stakeholder relationships (corporate, sub-contractors, consultants, government etc.) while using your government networks to influence outcomes will be the key to your success.
 
The successful candidate will have significant infrastructure projects experience where you have led the approvals and compliance processes through various federal and state government departments, such as the Department of Transport & Planning and the EPA, among others, enabling the success of major infrastructure projects. An exceptional communicator with energy and desire to deliver outcomes, you will have the experience and networks to navigate government departments, as well as the ability to work with all levels of the organisation from the Board to engineers and site operators. Experience (or passion) for the environment and sustainability will be highly regarded, however, expertise in obtaining appropriate approvals and consents is a pre-requisite. Industry experience could come from major infrastructure projects, civil, residential, or commercial construction, defence, renewables, utilities or engineering / management consulting.
