  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders, leading consultation programs and ensuring collaborative decision-making across internal teams and external partners.
  • Oversee monitoring and evaluation programs for strategy implementation, ensuring region-specific approaches and providing annual updates to stakeholders.
  • Support the creation of strategic frameworks and pathways for water security, integrating input from communities, Traditional Owners, and key partners.

  • Relevant qualifications in strategy, science, engineering, or related fields with knowledge of technical, regulatory, and policy requirements.
  • Strong understanding of South Australia’s water sector, water resource management, and strategic planning.
  • Proven strategic, analytical, and organisational skills to manage complex issues across multiple stakeholders.
