Public rail operator managing 6,500km of track across Queensland
Queensland Rail operates Australia's largest state rail network with 6,000+ staff, 216 stations, and $6.9B in assets. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Primavera P6, ServiceNow, Power BI) and operations-focused, reflecting the scale of infrastructure management. Active hiring tilts strongly toward engineering (42 roles), with steady recruitment across ops and construction — matching the intensity of concurrent mega-projects (Cross River Rail, Logan & Gold Coast Faster Rail, station upgrades ahead of 2032 Olympics).
