Bring your procurement and contract management expertise to the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority and contribute to one of Queenslands most significant infrastructure projects. We are seeking experienced Senior Advisor and Principal Advisor professionals to work across a diverse procurement portfolio spanning technology, technical and professional services, corporate operations and broader project requirements. Navigate complex stakeholder, governance and probity requirements while helping deliver a city shaping project. Flexible work options are available.

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)…Your chance to work with the best!

The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is building a new 10.2km rail line that includes 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD; with four new underground stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street and Roma Street.

Once complete, it will provide trains with a much-needed alternative rail path through the core of the current SEQ Rail network, unlocking a bottleneck and allowing more trains to run more often across the whole of South East Queensland.

The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is also delivering multiple supporting projects and activities in conjunction with the Department of Transport and Main Roads. These include accessibility rebuilds for eight surface stations, construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast; upgrades for stabling yards; track works and surface rail enhancements; and the introduction of a new ETCS digital signalling system.
