Litchfield Council is where plans on paper turn into safer roads, better drainage, well-maintained buildings and infrastructure that genuinely improves day-to-day life. If you're the kind of leader who can balance long-term asset stewardship with the realities of weather, budgets, contractors, community expectations and urgent maintenance, you'll feel right at home here.
This role is ideal for someone from local government who understands how to deliver within a public accountability environment (delegations, Council reporting, procurement, stakeholder management). But if you're coming from civil construction, consultancy, utilities or another infrastructure-heavy environment and you can demonstrate strong asset management thinking plus confident project delivery, we still want to hear from you.
As Manager Infrastructure and Assets, you'll lead Council's Infrastructure and Assets function to deliver on strategic objectives and community needs, while making smart, sustainable decisions about how resources are used. You'll report to the Director Infrastructure and Operations and provide clear direction across a busy, practical portfolio that mixes planning, delivery and operational outcomes.
You'll be stepping into a true multi-disciplinary leadership position—supporting and coordinating permanent staff and program leaders across capital works, maintenance and asset functions, and partnering closely with internal teams, contractors and the wider community.
