• Coordinate end-to-end mobilisation, cross-mobilisation, transfer and demobilisation of employees, labour hire workers and subcontractors across DTI Rail projects and client networks.
• Verify qualifications, competencies, licences, RIW roles, employer relationships, inductions, medical and fitness for work requirements before personnel are cleared for mobilisation.
• Act as the primary RIW Employer Administrator for DTI Rail, maintaining worker profiles, role assignments, competencies, medical status and supporting evidence.
• Work with Project Managers and operational leaders to forecast workforce demand and coordinate upcoming training, competency, medical, induction and mobilisation requirements.
• Maintain the DTI Rail Training Needs Analysis and progressively develop the Rail Training and Competency Framework, establishing consistent minimum competency standards across the business.
• Proactively monitor workforce readiness, competency gaps and expiry risks, provide reporting to the business and drive continuous improvement in mobilisation and competency management processes.

Experience and capabilities

• Minimum three years' demonstrated experience in rail workforce mobilisation, RIW administration, competency management or training coordination within the Australian rail industry.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience as an RIW Employer Administrator, including management of worker profiles, employer relationships, roles, competencies and medical status.
• Sound knowledge of Rail Safety Worker competency, health and fitness requirements, RIW requirements and rail network access requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret competency and mobilisation requirements and translate them into practical workforce readiness processes.
