Customer And Accessibility Advisor | Cross River Rail Delivery Authority | Australia

Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (CRRDA)…Your chance to work with the best!

Cross River Rail will transform the way we travel to, from and through Brisbane in the future. It will be a catalyst for 10 years of wider rail transformation across the whole of South East Queensland and it is already playing a key role in how we prepare for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Cross River Rail is a new 10.2km rail line including 5.9km of twin tunnels running under the Brisbane River and CBD. It includes the delivery of four new underground stations, two new above-ground stations, accessibility rebuilds for six stations, the construction of three new stations on the Gold Coast, and the introduction of a new world-class ‘ETCS’ signalling system.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work on one of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects and to be a part of something that will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

About the Role

Cross River Rail is committed to delivering accessible infrastructure that serves all customers, ensuring an inclusive, positive experience from the early stages of construction through to the first day of operations and beyond. The Customer and Accessibility Advisor will play a critical role in supporting CRRDA’s dedication to creating an integrated network, accessible to all.

Working as part of the Customer and Network Integration team, this role will collaborate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to advance customer experience and accessibility outcomes. A primary focus of the role is to support engagement and consultation with the Cross River Rail Accessibility Reference Group (ARG), a body of representatives from disability sector organisations and individuals with lived experience. The ARG convenes regularly, with additional working groups as needed, to provide focused feedback on various project elements, including station design and amenity, and the impact of disruptions.

Reporting to the Customer and Accessibility Manager the successful applicant will enjoy working from our modern corporate office in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD with work from home flexibility available. This opportunity is offered as a contract until December 2026 with possible extension.

• Content Development: Draft, edit, and prepare presentations, reports, and communications.
• Partnership Coordination: Plan and coordinate partnerships with relevant disability sector organisations.
• Project Monitoring and Issue Identification: Gain an understanding of the critical path and milestones of the Cross River Rail project as it relates to stakeholder obligations, risks and compliance requirements.
• Stakeholder Database Management: Maintain up-to-date records of stakeholder relationships, documenting recent interactions and engagement status.
• Flexibility and Availability: Occasional work outside of normal business hours, on weekends and public holidays may be required to support engagement activities including site visits.

About You:

• Strong relationship building and interpersonal skills with demonstrated experience in stakeholder liaison and engagement.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to provide clear and concise messaging including presenting and creating fit for purpose correspondence, reporting and briefings.
• Demonstrated experience undertaking secretariat duties including drafting agendas, minutes and governance documentation.
