Whether you're coordinating meetings, supporting safety communications, maintaining SharePoint sites or helping drive process improvements, your contribution will directly support the safe and effective operation of our network.

• Develop Your Skills – Gain exposure to specialist systems, reporting tools and continuous improvement initiatives while broadening your technical and administrative expertise.
• Drive Improvement – Help identify efficiencies, improve processes and contribute to a culture of service excellence and continuous improvement.

• Strong Administrative Experience – Previous experience providing comprehensive administrative support, managing records and coordinating multiple activities simultaneously.
• Excellent Organisation Skills – Able to prioritise workloads, manage competing deadlines and maintain high levels of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Reporting & Data Management Experience – Confidence in collating, analysing and presenting data through reports, spreadsheets and presentations.
