Senior Project Officer

Queensland Government
Brisbane Full-day Temporary

Description:

Two exciting opportunities (one permanent role and a 6-month temporary role, with the possibility of extension) to be part of the Dept of Housing and Public Works' Corporate Governance team.

Please note that due to the recent Machinery of Government change, this department is now the Department of Housing and Public Works.

As a Senior Project Officer, you will be responsible for supporting our team's lead role in a range of strategic governance activities that are vital to the effective, transparent and accountable operations of the department.

The focus of the role depends on whether the position is assigned to the Risk and Governance stream (coordination and delivery of functions such as the department's risk management, business continuity and corporate governance systems and frameworks) or Planning and Performance stream (functions relating to strategic and operational planning, and a broad range of performance monitoring and reporting.).

No matter the stream, the role is also responsible for providing professional and timely advice to divisions and senior leaders and working with stakeholders to achieve outcomes.

The permanent Senior Project Officer role will sit in the Risk and Governance stream, with a preference for someone with experience relating to Business continuity and risk management. The temporary role will also sit in the Risk and Governance stream but may also assist the Planning and Performance team, when needed.

  • Build successful networks, ensure effective communication channels and maintain positive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Prepare high quality reports, submissions, briefing notes, presentations and other correspondence as required.


The Following Is Considered Highly Desirable
