**The role**

- Analysing problems and proposing solutions for implementation by Sunwater which are acceptable to the regulator, supporting Sunwater’s ongoing compliance with relevant instruments through investigations, analysis and engagement.
- Communicating regulatory requirements in ways that non-specialist staff can understand and action in order to maintain compliance, providing that essential link between Operations (and Legal), and the Regulator.
- Responding to Customer and Irrigation Advisory Committee queries regarding the Queensland water regulatory framework including water sharing rules.
- Developing other options and initiatives (including drafting business cases for projects where required) which help achieve Water Plan objectives and promote water resource security / drought resilience. These might include but are not limited to improved monitoring programs, operational efficiencies, asset optimisation, education and awareness, etc.

**About you**

We are looking for someone with a degree in engineering, science and/or law (or equivalent) from a recognised tertiary institution.

In addition, you will be able to demonstrate:

- 2 + years’ Experience working in the areas of natural resource management or for a water utility business. [insert top 3 experience/qualifications required]
- Experience of working with multidisciplinary teams to deliver timely outcomes relating to the sustainable development, allocation and management of water resources at the catchment or water supply scheme scales.

Sunwater acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first peoples of this country and Traditional Custodians of the land and water we rely on. We respect and value their continued sacred connection to Country, including the diverse, rich traditions, languages and customs that are the longest living in the world. We acknowledge their resilience in the face of significant and ongoing historical, cultural, and political change within Australia. We recognise and value the importance of truth-telling today, and our role to listen and learn.

Please note that our recruitment process involves verifying references, conducting psychometric testing, performing background checks, and conducting a pre-employment medical evaluation.
