Our Energy and Resources practice are looking for an experienced Water Sector Lead to join the team in Sydney or Melbourne .

We are leaders in consulting for the utilities sector. Our team help government, regulators, industry bodies, regulated utilities, and their investors to develop their plans for the future and implement changes, to meet challenges including climate change and sustainability, customer and environmental protection, investability, efficiency and performance.

We are looking to expand our leadership team in Australia with a Water sector lead. Working with other specialists, you’ll be able to combine your deep industry knowledge with flexibility to help shape, design and deliver solutions for our clients.

Some examples of our work include:

Developing economic frameworks and mechanisms with regulators. Advising regulated water companies on their pricing submissions. Strategic commercial reviews of regulated utility companies for Boards and investors. Supporting government to develop new policies for water management. Shaping and delivering transformation programmes to improve performance.

What you will be doing

·Developing Baringa’s existing portfolio of water projects in Australia to the next level.

·Building relationships with existing and prospective clients, working as a leader in our team to prioritise and lead business development activities.

·Leading delivery of a portfolio of projects, taking full responsibility for high quality client and commercial outcomes.

·Shaping future hiring requirements and further building our capabilities across the existing team and new hires.

·Working collaboratively within our existing teams in Australia, and shaping future strategy, sharing knowledge and helping to create a global community for water and wider utilities

Your skills and experience

We recruit individuals at all levels based on merit. Some of the key sills we are looking for are:

·You have an in-depth knowledge of the Australian water sector. This might include a focus in one or more of policy and regulation, commercial strategy, and operational transformation.

·Your experience working in a consulting organisation would be advantageous, with a track record of sales and delivery revenue in the $2m range.

·Most of your experience is likely to be with regulated urban water utilities (and their regulators). Experience in the rural water sector or with industrial water users is of interest but will not be your exclusive focus.

·You have demonstrable people leadership skills, able to lead teams effectively and coach and develop individuals.

·You possess good communication skills and the ability to explain complex concepts to non-specialist audiences.

·You are strongly focused on working collaboratively with clients with an ability to manage delivery through to successful conclusion, as well as offering strategic-level advice.

·You are enthusiastic and ambitious, and you play a key part in growing our team.

·You have passion for the sector and its contribution to society and sustainability.

·If you have experience across sectors including energy, and in the water sector in other countries, this would be useful, but is not a base requirement.

What a career at Baringa will give you

Putting People First

·We give you every opportunity to progress by having four promotional reviews a year. No one develops at the same pace. That’s why we have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don’t have any quotas: if you’re ready and delivering at the right level, you’ll get that promotion.

·We’re proud to put people first with wellbeing at the forefront of our culture, one example of this is that every employee receives $550 a year to put towards their wellbeing In 2023 this was recognised in our #3 ranking in the Australia’s Great Place To Work survey.

·We provide our employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at the start of each year.

·All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company’s success.

·We recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and have a 3-4-5 policy. You’ll likely travel to be on-site with your clients. Our policy guarantees you’ll spend no more than 3 nights away from home, 4 days on-site with a client, with the 5th day working from home or back at Baringa HQ. We know that the ‘ideal’ balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives for that reason we have implemented a hybrid working policy.

·Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 days every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.

·We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break - As such we have introduced the ‘Re-charge’ benefit meaning Baringa will offer all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
