With regular monthly travel and site visits, you’ll play a vital role in securing operational continuity, managing expansions, and ensuring compliance with all planning and regulatory requirements.

Join a close-knit and highly skilled team in a collaborative work environment, where you’ll have opportunities for career growth and be part of a company shaping Australia’s infrastructure.

• Application & Submission Leadership: Prepare and submit development applications (DA), clearing permits, and other relevant approvals to protect and expand Boral’s assets.
• Team Support & Collaboration: Work closely with a diverse internal team of town planners, engineers, geologists, and quarry development specialists to align on project goals.

What are we looking for?

• Planning Expertise: Proven experience in town planning (experience in extractive industry planning is beneficial, but not essential)
• Approval and Permit Knowledge: Strong familiarity with development applications, regulatory negotiations, and securing approvals.
• Communication Skills: Skilled in engaging stakeholders and coordinating with external project teams, with the ability to influence and drive successful planning outcomes.
• Hands-on Attitude: A proactive, can-do approach, with the ability to work well with a team and collaborate effectively across the business.

What’s on offer?

• Permanent, full-time opportunity
