Our Queensland Government client is seeking a Senior Advisor (Crane Data - State-controlled Roads) will provide specialised network and data support for the collection, analysis, validation and conversion of crane-related road, structure and access datasets required to implement crane access for State-controlled roads in the National Automated Access System (NAAS). You will ensure existing permit-based access arrangements, route requirements, infrastructure constraints and operational conditions are translated into complete, accurate, traceable and NAAS-ready datasets that support reliable automated access decisions, release readiness and ongoing network expansion.

Key responsibilities

• Identify, source, consolidate and maintain priority crane-related datasets for State-controlled roads, including route, road, structure, restriction, condition and access information.
• Analyse and validate crane access data against current permits, notices, approved routes, infrastructure constraints, operational requirements and road manager decisions.
• Convert permit-based and other existing crane access requirements into NAAS-ready data structures aligned with approved policy settings, business rules and decision logic.
• Undertake data profiling, quality assurance, reconciliation and gap analysis, and coordinate remediation actions with districts, regions, Structures, asset owners, policy specialists and technical experts.
• Support NAAS configuration, User Acceptance Testing and system validation by preparing test data, confirming expected access outcomes, investigating data-related defects and recommending resolution or escalation pathways.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, data definitions, data lineage, decision records, conversion rules and business-rule documentation to support traceability, assurance and enduring data stewardship.
• Monitor and report data collection, validation, conversion and remediation progress, including dependencies, defects, residual risks and matters requiring escalation.
• Prepare clear technical advice, readiness assessments, briefings and recommendations for project governance, operational and executive decision-making.

Expected deliverables

• A prioritised inventory of State-controlled (and possibly local) road crane datasets, source owners, data dependencies and completeness assessments.
• Validated crane route, road, structure, restriction, condition and access datasets, with identified gaps and agreed remediation or escalation actions.
• NAAS-ready crane data structures and conversion outputs aligned with approved business rules, access conditions and decision logic.
• Data quality, reconciliation and assurance records demonstrating completeness, accuracy, consistency, traceability and fitness for operational use.
• Test data, expected outcomes, defect assessments and resolution recommendations supporting UAT and system validation for State-controlled road crane access.
• Technical documentation covering data definitions, lineage, transformation logic, assumptions, decision records and future stewardship requirements.
• Progress and readiness reporting confirming data conversion status, unresolved defects, residual risks, required decisions and post-release remediation actions.
• Handover and knowledge-transfer products for nominated enduring business and data owners.

Capability

• The successful candidate will demonstrate substantial experience in data analysis, data quality, network or spatial data management, transport operations, heavy vehicle access, asset information or a closely related environment.
