About us and our Jobs in Brisbane and Queensland, Australia

The Department of Transport and Main Roads was formed in April 2009, when two former departments (Queensland Transport and the Department of Main Roads) merged. Having a single department that moves and connects people, places, goods and services safely, efficiently and effectively across Queensland makes sense.

Our vision for the future is connecting Queensland. Queensland's population is set to increase by 1.5 million people over the next 20 years, making it the fastest growing state in Australia.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads will be spending more than $16.2 billion over the next five years on road infrastructure that will connect the state's future, while simultaneously managing our state-controlled road network. The department is responsible for planning, managing and delivering Queensland’s integrated transport environment to achieve sustainable transport solutions for road, rail, air and sea.

Our people are our most important asset - without our people we cannot support the state's growth and achieve our vision.

In taking an integrated transport planning approach, the department contributes to people’s quality of life, the state's economic well-being and a sustainable environment.The department ensures that all Queenslanders irrespective of where they live and work have appropriate transport choices and fair access to the transport system.

We presently have offices in 14 locations throughout the state. We have varied jobs in Brisbane, Barcaldine, Bundaberg, Cairns, Cloncurry, Emerald, Gold Coast, Mackay, Rockhampton, Roma, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Townsville and Warwick.

We invite you to join us and experience the employment benefits that the Department of Transport and Main Roads Queensland delivers.
