Brisbane, Australia Queensland Urban Utilities Full time

**About Us**

At Urban Utilities, we exist to enrich quality of life.

We’re responsible for delivering world-class drinking water and wastewater services to the growing communities of Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Somerset and Scenic Rim.

We’re also planning ahead so that we all can live, work, and build around water, now and for decades to come. This brings exciting opportunities to capture, and plenty of complex challenges to get stuck into.

At the heart of everything we do is genuine care: For each other, for our customers and communities, and for the environment. We’re there when our customers need us - whether it’s a simple shower or flush of a toilet, major infrastructure works or new residential developments.

Our head office is in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, but our employees work all over SEQ - including at our SAS Laboratory in Darra, field-based depots in Eagle Farm, Acacia Ridge and Bundamba, and wastewater treatment plants located across our region.

**About The Role**

As a part of our 10-year strategic plan, we have a new role for a **Stakeholder and Partnerships Specialist **within our growing** Integrated Solutions Group**.

Reporting to the Manager Stakeholder Management, Influencing and Partnerships, the role of Stakeholder and Partnerships Specialist is integral in leading the **development of the stakeholder and partnerships influencing strategy, **and its implementation and evaluation of stakeholder engagement with key internal stakeholders to support the achievement of Urban Utilities strategic objectives.

This is one of those roles that doesn’t come around very often. It’s been created specifically to **enhance the strategic relationships for Urban Utilities with key stakeholders** including the Government, the water industry, and the urban development sector with the aim to achieve:

- An authorising environment for our future servicing strategies
- Collaborative partnerships with key stakeholders which enhance Urban Utilities ability to meet its strategic objectives
- An overall legislative and policy environment for the business which enables the delivery of our future business activities.

**Key Accountabilities**:

- Support the development of an overarching stakeholder and partnerships strategy for Urban Utilities, and associated implementation plans for key stakeholders and partners in Government, the water industry, the development industry and other priority sectors.
- Represent the organisation in key government, industry and professional forums to enhance the relationship, brand and reputation of the Urban Utilities and increase stakeholder understanding of key corporate deliverables including the Urban Utilities servicing strategy.
- Work closely with internal stakeholders to facilitate a coordinated approach to external stakeholder management which considers internal needs/issues/concerns to support the strategic direction and desired business outcomes of Urban Utilities.
- Identify opportunities to influence future government policy and legislation to provide an enabling environment for Urban Utilities overall strategic direction.
- Through engagement with stakeholders and partners, establish active and collaborative partnerships across Government, Industry and priority business sectors and identify business opportunities as a result of your engagement.
- Develop and coordinate the framework to facilitate the sharing of information from stakeholders and partners throughout Urban Utilities, in association with an internal communication program to ensure all key internal stakeholders have access to timely and relevant information from partners and stakeholders.

**About You**:

- Tertiary qualifications in either Business, Marketing, Communications or Stakeholder and Partnership management or equivalent industry experience
- Extensive knowledge and understanding of State and Local Government decision making frameworks, including policy and legislation in relation to the water sector.
- Demonstrated achievement in the development, delivery and evaluation of stakeholder engagement and strategic partnerships which contribute to the success of an organisation.
- Knowledge and experience in the leveraging of co-investment into project innovations from Government, industry or other partners.

**Why Work With Us?**

We work in a community, not a company.

We’re ‘all in’ when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, as we strive to reflect the communities we serve. We want our people to feel valued for who they are, celebrated and able to bring their whole self to work.

We know our people don’t just have roles with us - they also have roles within their families, homes and communities. We’re proud to offer several benefits to strengthen these aspects of life such as flexible working options, generous paid parental leave and other extended leave entitlements, study assistance policies and our health and wellbeing reimbursement initiat
