LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL PROJECT

We're not just about removing - we're building, we're connecting, we're revitalising, the Level Crossing Removal Project are busier than ever. As such, we need a Gender Diversity Program Officer to join our team!

The Industry Capability and Inclusion team seeks to encourage more women to join and stay in transport through initiatives like the 'Women in Transport' (WiT) program. The program is underpinned by the Women in Transport Strategy 2021-24, which aims to remove the barriers that have limited diverse gender representation in the sector, and improve outcomes such as participation and earning for women.

The Gender Diversity Program Officer is a critical role responsible for supporting the dynamic Industry Capability and Inclusion (ICI) team. Reporting to the Inclusion and Social Procurement Advisor, and working closely with the Department of Transport, the Gender Diversity Program Officer is primarily responsible for the coordination and facilitation of programs such as WiT Mentoring and WiT Leadership Development Scholarship, ensuring they are delivered in an efficient and integrated way across Victoria.

This opportunity suits a proactive, highly organised program administrator and facilitator, who has an interest in gender diversity and inclusion in transport and rail infrastructure. The key to success is someone who can demonstrate initiative and problem solving in their day-day tasks and who will enjoy a mixture of routine administration, event coordination, learning & development content development, and workshop facilitation to large audiences (up to 500 people).

On a day-to-day basis you will be coordinating the mentor and scholarship programs (within existing program frameworks) with tasks that include :

At times the role may also be required to support other capability, diversity, and inclusion programs within the Industry Capability and Inclusion team.

The Gender Diversity Program Officer position is a 3-year fixed term contract, paying between $90,067 - $102,192 + super with a hybrid working arrangement. This includes a combination of working from home and the office in the CBD.

We are looking for individuals who have a strong sense of purpose in helping the LXRP team deliver on transforming the way Victorians live, work and travel.

We are also looking for someone who thrives in a busy and fast paced environment, who has the confidence to work autonomously and respectfully challenge the status quo!

Let's get technical! What will we expect from you?

At LXRP, we're not just removing level crossings, we are removing barriers and creating legacies for our communities for years to come. Inclusion is a priority for us, and we are committed to creating an employee community that reflects those in which we work.
