 - Coordinate and manage significant water supply modelling projects within multi-functional teams, developing least-cost optimisation strategies to ensure appropriate water quality and quantity.
 - Provide professional advice on government policy, legislation, and regulation, using modelling outcomes to formulate strategies and recommendations for long-term SEQ water supply planning.
 - Ensure water supply models are accurate, reliable, and fit for purpose by managing a modelling assurance framework, overseeing change management, and leading internal and external audits.

- Tertiary qualification in Science, Maths or Engineering discipline.
 - Minimum of 10 years of professional modelling experience, including extensive data analysis and interpretation of modelling results.
 - Proven expertise in stochastic modelling for large and complex systems.

 - High-level analytical and statistical interpretation skills, with proficiency in statistical packages and water supply models.
 - Ideally, experience in hydrological modelling using tools such as IQQM, WATHNET (RSM), GoldSim or eWater Source to undertake Level-of-Service water security assessments.
