Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager to join QIC’s Infrastructure team where you will play a key role on the CopperString (East) / Eastern Link project - one of the most significant transmission infrastructure developments in Australia. This role is for an initial 12 month fixed-term contract with potential opportunity to join the next phase of the project and take it to construction over the next 4 years. The Project Eastern Link is the first stage of the CopperString project, delivering a new 330 kV transmission line from Reid River near Townsville to Hughenden.
