Docklands, Victoria, Australia Melbourne Water Full time

Who we are

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a backyard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra—we're there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world's cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home —just as we have for almost 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what's right, you're in the right place.

About the Role

Reporting to the Manager - Drinking Water Strategy & Policy, this is a pivotal role within the Service Strategy team. As a Water Network Planning Engineer, you will collaborate to prepare innovative risk-based adaptive service plans for the water transfer network to service Melbourne's growth, and to manage other risks in an integrated water system context through investigations, planning and analysis.

This will be achieved through:

  • Project management and preparation of investigations, options assessments and adaptive service plans for the water transfer network in an integrated water system context.
  • Managing technical complexity with limited supervision, bringing innovative solutions and providing advice and expertise to the Drinking Water Strategy & Policy team and stakeholders.
  • Developing, maintaining and running water network hydraulic models and analysing model results to support investigations, options assessments and adaptive service plans for the water network.

About you

  • Experience and knowledge in water transfer network planning, hydraulic modelling and concept design in an integrated water system context
  • Experience with risk assessment, multi-criteria assessment, cost estimation, cost benefit analysis, net present value modelling, business case preparation and safety in planning
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence decisions, understand the needs of others and negotiate
  • Degree in a relevant discipline of engineering

For more information, please see the attached Position Description.

At Melbourne Water, we care about water and all life that springs from it.

Our people are fuelled by passion, and with safety at the forefront, we have an unwavering sense of purpose, and are on a mission to protect every Melburnian's way of life, one drop at a time.
