About You

As the Asset and Infrastructure Services Manager, you will build strong relationships across the College of Science and Engineering and with external partners. Success in this role relies on your ability to lead confidently, take initiative, and make independent decisions.

While similar experience is valued, we are seeking candidates with proven leadership, a collaborative approach, and a commitment to fostering a positive team culture.

To be successful in this role, you will also demonstrate:

• Sound knowledge of WHS policies and procedures and in particular the management of plant and contractors.
