Transport has the potential to shape our city for the better - from the streets we live, work and spend time on, to the trains, bus services, cycle and walkways we use every day.

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Auckland Transport (AT) is on a mission to create a safe, connected, and future-ready transport network. At the heart of this transformation is our fibre infrastructure—powering everything from traffic light control systems to CCTV and smart transport technologies.

We're looking for a Fibre & Telco Manager to lead the strategic management, optimisation, and expansion of AT's fibre network. This is your opportunity to make a tangible impact on the city's digital backbone while reducing reliance on commercial providers and driving cost efficiencies.

  • Own and optimise AT's fibre network—ensuring it's resilient, scalable, and future-proof.
  • Define and enforce fibre design standards across all projects and partners.
  • Monitor network health and performance, escalating issues that impact critical systems like SCATS and CCTV.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and public-sector partners to maximise fibre utilisation and reduce third-party costs.
  • Support infrastructure projects with expert fibre input, from planning to integration.
  • Lead documentation, mapping, and lifecycle planning of fibre assets.

Nā tāu rourou | What will you bring?

We're after a strategic thinker with hands-on technical expertise. You'll need:

Minimum Requirements:

  • A degree in Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, IT, or a related field.
