- Deliver innovative digital engagement solutions to promote and support engagement and involvement of the Price Submission program with water sector, customers and community
- ensure the seamless delivery of the Customer and Broader Community and Water Sector engagement streams with other key engagement streams e.g. a Traditional Owner Engagement Plan and an Internal communications and engagement plan
- Develop supporting materials to deliver the strategic communication and engagement plan such as collateral.

**About you**:

- Excellent knowledge of strategic communications and engagement planning in theory and practice (preferably in a local authority or government department or agency)
- Demonstrated understanding of deliberative engagement approaches
- Understanding of the Essential Services Commission’s PREMO model for water authorities’ Price Submission
- Exceptional social awareness and ability to quickly and creatively redesign engagement activities to meet community expectations.
- Experienced in online engagement techniques, social media and digital content creation.
- High level of project management skills with proven ability in setting priorities, meeting deadlines, managing budgets and keeping accurate records to enable project reporting.
- Tertiary qualification in a relevant field (and ideally with a post-graduate qualification or professional development qualifications) alongside experience working across the IAP2 spectrum

**Why join us**:
At Melbourne Water, we care deeply about water and the life it sustains.

Our team is inspired by passion and purpose, with an unwavering commitment to safety. We are on a mission to protect every Melburnian’s way of life, one drop at a time.
