About The Role

As the Interface Manager, Engineering, you’ll sit at the centre of one of Queensland’s most complex rail programs, making sure all the moving parts across design, systems, construction and supply chain come together cleanly and safely.

Leading a small team of interface engineers, you’ll work closely with Design, Systems Engineering, Safety, SESA and external suppliers to identify and resolve interface risks early, align stakeholders and ensure the right assurance evidence is in place.

Key Responsibilities

• Mobilise, implement and embed effective interface management processes across the project.
• Lead and manage the interface engineering team, ensuring delivery of interface definition and assurance documentation.
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Safety, SESA and Design Management to integrate interface requirements into the project assurance framework.
• Represent the project in customer and supplier interface workshops, reviews and forums.
• Resolve complex, high ‑ risk interface issues and ensure all interface reviews, verification and validation activities are governed and approved by senior engineering leadership.
  
  
  

In short: You help prove that what we designed, built and delivered is safe, compliant and exactly what we said it would be.
