About the Opportunity:

The Infrastructure Assets Integration Director supports the Asset Lifecycle Planning & Integration Director by working with the Infrastructure portfolio lead, roads and car parks stakeholders, City Operations and O&M teams to shape practical lifecycle plans and renewal programmes for infrastructure assets.

• Apply city-wide asset management principles, renewal strategies, and intervention criteria to infrastructure planning.
• Develop maintenance, renewal, refurbishment, and replacement plans based on asset condition, criticality, and performance.
• Ensure lifecycle plans consider safety, resilience, maintainability, operability, user experience, and whole-life value.
• Incorporate operational risks, issues, opportunities, and lessons learned from O&M activities into asset planning.
• Monitor asset performance, defects, recurring failures, and maintenance challenges to support informed decision-making.
• Support risk-based prioritisation using condition, cost, performance, safety, criticality, and service impact data.
• Escalate lifecycle and renewal risks arising from funding gaps, deferred works, or ownership issues.
• Contribute to infrastructure renewal pipelines through analysis of condition, risk, maintenance, cost, and performance data.
• Maintain evidence-based renewal priorities and provide reporting on lifecycle risks, backlogs, budgets, and recommended actions.

Role Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Asset Management, Infrastructure, Transport, Facilities Management, or a related field; relevant certifications are desirable.
• Experience in infrastructure asset management, roads, car parks, transport infrastructure, maintenance planning, or city operations.
• Proven ability to support lifecycle planning, renewal programmes, maintenance strategies, risk management, and asset management plans.
• Skilled in collaborating with O&M teams, consultants, and stakeholders to convert operational insights into improvement initiatives.
• Knowledge of infrastructure lifecycle planning, planned maintenance, renewals, asset performance monitoring, and ISO 55001 asset management principles.
