About the Opportunity
As Engineering Manager, reporting to the Associate Director, you'll lead the VADP and EM&M teams, helping shape their growth and building a future-ready workforce. You'll craft learning pathways and career development programs that keep your teams motivated, skilled, and prepared for what's next.

- Work with product teams to define technical capability needs, maintain an accurate skills database, and align development with technology roadmaps and strategic priorities.
- Drive capability governance that enables collaboration, accountability, and strong delivery outcomes across NSW Health.
- Optimise resource allocation to ensure the right skills are deployed to priority initiatives.
- Manage relationships with capability partners and vendors, leveraging agreements to maintain service continuity and adapt to organisational change.
- Oversee capability‑related costs, providing insights to support strategic planning and investment.
- Build strong stakeholder relationships through clear communication, negotiation, and issue resolution.
- Lead the Digital Workspace engineering workforce across the full employment lifecycle, embedding cultural alignment, mentoring, and continuous improvement.
