Be driven different

At SHEPHERD, we’re not just looking for team members – we’re looking for professionals who do things differently.
If you’re an engineer, accountant, GIS specialist, DRFA practitioner, project manager or technical expert who thinks beyond the job description and cares about meaningful outcomes, you’ll feel at home here.

Who We Are

We help regional and remote councils manage their road networks smarter, recover from disaster faster, and make confident, defensible decisions.

Our work spans RACAS^® road network insight and intelligence, civil and disaster recovery programs and end-to-end asset management and financial accounting outcomes for all local government infrastructure – from roads and drainage to buildings, parks, plant, and all community assets.

We’re united by one purpose: Driven Different.

We speak with purpose, grow strength together, improve what matters, care with integrity, and build better communities. These aren’t slogans – they shape the way we work, the clients we support, and the outcomes we deliver.

Who thrives here

You’ll enjoy working at SHEPHERD if you:

Speak openly, respectfully, and with purpose.
Collaborate across disciplines and help others win.
Listen first, ask clear, thoughtful questions, and challenge constructively.
Own your work and deliver with discipline.
Care about community impact, not ego.
Bring your expertise – and a willingness to keep learning.

What we offer

We keep things practical and people focused. At SHEPHERD you’ll have:

Flexibility that works: remote options, field-friendly arrangements, and support to set yourself up properly at home or on the road.

Straightforward, competitive pay: market-aligned remuneration, travel support, door-to-door time, and accommodation when you need it.

Tools that won’t hold you back: quality vehicles, reliable equipment, and access to systems like RACAS^®, GIS platforms, and proprietary DRFA tools.

Room to grow and stretch: opportunities across engineering, GIS, valuations, DRFA, asset accounting, and project delivery.

A team that backs each other: respectful, inclusive, and aligned to our Shared Standards in how we show up every day.
