Details: Do you have a can-do attitude and enjoy working as part of a collaborative, agile team? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Transport Canberra has an exciting opportunity for an Executive Business Officer to join our Bus Operations team.

This is a dynamic and rewarding role at the heart of a large operational environment, supporting the Executive Branch Manager and helping to ensure the smooth day-to-day functioning of the branch. We are seeking a highly organised professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with a diverse range of stakeholders, and takes pride in delivering high-quality support to senior leaders.

In this role, you will provide high-level executive and administrative support, including managing complex diaries and inboxes, coordinating meetings and events, preparing correspondence and briefing material, and overseeing key business functions such as human resources and financial administration.

To be successful, you will bring excellent organisational skills, sound judgement, and a keen eye for detail. You will be comfortable managing sensitive and confidential information, balancing competing priorities, and adapting to changing business needs. Your ability to build positive working relationships, contribute to governance activities, and support recruitment, workforce planning, and business improvement initiatives will be highly valued.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the delivery of public transport services while working alongside a dedicated and supportive team. If you are proactive, adaptable, and committed to service excellence, we encourage you to apply.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements:

• Relevant experience and/or qualifications in administration and executive support would be an advantage.
• Experience in managing sensitive and classified information while supporting senior executives would be an advantage.
• Visa holders are eligible to apply for both permanent and temporary roles. Those with eligible visas may be considered for permanent employment, while individuals with temporary residency or limited-duration visas may be offered permanent employment for the duration of their visas

Notes:

An order of merit will be established from this selection process and may be used to fill future identical vacancies over the next 12 months.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
