We are public purpose specialists supporting with public purpose organisations to solve complex challenges and deliver meaningful outcomes for Australians. From shaping national policy to delivering critical public projects, we help build resilient, equitable, secure, and prosperous communities.

Our values shape everything we do - Stronger Together, Amplify Impact, Build Trusted Relationships, Value Every Person, Think Beyond Limits, and Defined by Ethics - guiding how we collaborate, innovate, and drive meaningful change. 

Our purpose-driven professionals provide clients with access to the skills, capabilities and expertise to support the delivery of government agendas and public purpose projects, with specialist teams across three national practices:

• Commercial, Financial and Infrastructure (CFI)
• Transformation
• Risk, Programs and Cyber (RPC)

The Team

Our Planning and Economics skills group, within the national CFI practice, operates at the heart of this purpose, advising our public purpose clients on the projects that shape Australia’s future. We deliver end-to-end expertise to support Australia’s growth today, and tomorrow. Our diversity of industry experience, insight and deep capability drives confidence in supporting clients to make better investment decisions through analysing the economic, financial and commercial of the project to inform the infrastructure outcomes.

In our Planning and Economics capability, we support our clients at the front end of project decision making – from upfront planning through to final investment decision and procurement. This is an opportunity to join our growing team in Queensland, supporting our client base across the transport, ports, energy, housing, sports and water sectors.

We provide strategic, economic, commercial and policy advice through a combination of technical and non-technical tools, including business cases and feasibility analyses, strategy assessments, cost benefit analyses, economic modelling, and transport modelling.

In this role, you will create value by:

• Working as part of a national team advising public sector clients on high profile infrastructure projects.
• Evaluating project feasibility through economic and financial analysis, cost benefit analysis, options analysis and strategic assessment as part of a business case process.
• Collaborating on and providing support across various project workstreams.
• Assisting with the preparation of presentations and reports.
• Actively participating in project meetings, providing input and contributing to project outcomes.
