Senior Leadership | Enterprise Impact | Purpose-Driven

Lead the infrastructure strategy shaping the future of education

This is a career-defining opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where strategy meets delivery – and where your impact will be felt across an entire education system.

At DOSCEL, we are building more than schools – we are enabling thriving, faith-filled communities of learning. As Head of Planning & Capital Delivery, you will play a critical enterprise role in shaping how infrastructure supports growth, innovation and student outcomes across the Diocese.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Chief Planning & Infrastructure, you will lead the translation of a 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy into a sequenced, funded and deliverable capital program.This is not just program delivery – it is about setting direction, lifting capability and embedding governance across a complex, multi-site portfolio.

You will:

• Lead enterprise-wide capital planning and delivery across multiple regions and school communities
• Shape infrastructure investment strategy, including growth, redevelopment and optimisation
• Drive Diocesan-wide Master Planning, aligning enrolment growth, demand and long-term development pathways
• Embed program governance, frameworks and reporting to lift consistency and maturity across the portfolio
• Oversee end-to-end capital delivery, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to quality standards
• Partner with senior stakeholders across schools, Church, government and industry

Why This Role Stands Out

• Enterprise impact – influence long-term infrastructure strategy and investment decisions
• Leadership depth – build and lead a high-performing capital delivery function
• Purpose-led work – contribute to environments where students thrive academically and personally
• Scale and complexity – oversee a diverse, multi-site portfolio
• Transformation focus – uplift capability, systems and governance across the function.

What You’ll Bring

You are a seasoned leader who can operate at both strategic and operational levels – equally comfortable shaping long-term direction and driving delivery outcomes.

You will bring:

• Extensive experience delivering large-scale capital works programs in complex, multi-site environments
• Proven capability in program-level planning, prioritisation and delivery
• Strong commercial, financial and contract management expertise
• Experience uplifting capability, systems and governance frameworks
• Highly developed stakeholder engagement and influencing skills
• The ability to navigate complexity, risk and competing priorities with confidence

Experience within education, Catholic education or similarly regulated environments will be highly regarded.
