Miles Vass completed the Executive Leadership in Major Projects program in 2016 and has since taken on the role of Deputy Director-General Infrastructure Management and Delivery with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland.
Previously, Miles was General Manager for Program Delivery and Operations. Miles was responsible for delivering Transport and Main Roads' (TMR) capital funded projects, reconstruction projects, maintenance and preservation projects, and infrastructure works and services across the state.
