Who We Are

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

As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a yard 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 over 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 Operations, the Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Lead is responsible for the delivery, scheduling and testing of Melbourne Water’s IT Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) and Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure reliable, safe and consistent IT capability during a disaster or BCP event, with the support of third party managed service providers, professional service providers and other teams within the business.

This will be achieved through:

- Implementing DRP and BCP support services for corporate enterprise systems and infrastructure.
- Ensuring recovery strategies and plans are regularly reviewed, updated and validated, through engagement with system owners.
- Defining roles, responsibilities and authorities to activate disaster recovery plans.
- Financial management of DR and BCP testing activities.

About You
- ITIL Foundation and/or Practitioner or equivalent
- Excellent understanding of service management delivery methodology, frameworks and best practice
- Budget management experience
- Experience with performance management of external IT service providers and suppliers
- Experience in Disaster Recovery/ Business Continuity and facilitating disaster recovery exercises and events
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Knowledge of NIST and ISO standards, Victorian government legislation and regulatory authorities
- Your demonstrated stakeholder engagement skills particularly your ability to manage relationships with internal teams and vendors will be keys to this role.

Why Join Us

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.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working - but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do. We're dedicated to doing what's right, and this commitment extends to the meaningful work we do in a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages you to make the most of your talents.
