About the role

We are currently seeking an Advisory Analyst to join our Strategic Programmes team based in North Sydney. You will be working with the Advisory team and broader business to engage with infrastructure owners, developers, and managers to optimise infrastructure delivery performance, leveraging Laing O’Rourke’s industry-leading delivery expertise. You will work with our clients to help build long-term relationships and solve the most complex problems in infrastructure delivery to drive a lasting impact across the industry.
