**Great role with Entura in the Water Management Team**

**Shape the Future with Entura**:
This is a role replacement in our **Water Management Team** where you will be responsible for the provision of reliable hydrological, meteorological, and environmental data monitoring systems for the purpose of collecting and presenting quality time series data to Entura’s clients, including Hydro Tasmania.

This role includes selecting fit-for-purpose equipment, system design, integration, commissioning and maintenance. The transmission, storage, and presentation of that data is also of prime importance.

**What will your week look like?**

If you like variety and being outside keep reading. Each week will be a bit different, so you will need to be a bit flexible, some weeks could include multiple days in the field carrying and using hydrographer monitoring equipment. Other weeks would consist of inputting the data collected back at the Moonah office or assisting with preparation of future installations.

A full list of accountabilities is detailed in the Position description below.
