**Who we are**
The Environmental Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Division protects and restores Australia’s rivers, wetlands and groundwater ecosystems, ensuring they are understood and valued.

The CEWH is responsible for managing more than 2,000 gigalitres of water each year, to protect and restore the rivers and wetlands of the Murray-Darling Basin. The CEWH is supported by the division to deliver water where and when native plants and animals need it most. This includes dedicated local engagement and scientific monitoring programs. The division provides international and national leadership and expert advice on the Convention on Wetlands, and the wise use of wetlands overall. The division also includes the Office of Water Science (OWS), which provides expert advice to support regulatory decision-making on the potential water-related impacts of large projects, such as coal mines and coal seam gas developments. The OWS provides secretariat and technical support to the Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Unconventional Gas Development and Large Coal Mining Development. Staff in the division are based both in Canberra and in regional areas across Australia and undertake roles ranging from project and program management, policy development, program governance and coordination, monitoring and evaluation, community engagement and communications.

- Supporting the planning, use, monitoring and reporting of Commonwealth environmental water within one or more valleys within the Murray-Darling Basin
- Maintaining and building relationships with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders such as state government agencies, First Nations peoples, local communities, industry representatives, scientists and non-government organisations to inform and improve the management of Commonwealth environmental water.
- Identifying impediments and risks to the management of Commonwealth environmental water and developing and coordinating strategies to resolve and manage them, including influencing broader policy settings.
- Managing and analysing complex information to provide written and verbal briefings and advice to senior executives and the CEWH.
- Procurement and managing contracts with service providers, assessing milestones and variation requests, supporting the delegate to make appropriate decisions in line with contract requirements, operational policies, legislative and regulatory requirements.
- Actively engaging with stakeholders within and outside the department to drive business improvement practices for the division and continue to support water reform.
**Knowledge, skills and experience**
- Experience in maintaining productive working relationships and working collaboratively and productively with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders, such as state government agencies, First Nations people, local communities, industry representatives, scientists and non-government organisations.
- Effective liaison, written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to adapt your communication to a variety of internal and external stakeholders, and negotiate confidently.
- Effective organisational skills including the ability to manage available resources to complete multiple tasks in tight timeframes. Demonstrated capacity to identify, articulate and manage risk.
- Effective analytical skills, including the ability to identify and analyse complex datasets, manage complex issues, consider options and implement appropriate and timely solutions.
