Docklands, Australia Melbourne Water Full time

Who we are

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.

As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a backyard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra—we’re there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world’s cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home —just as we have for over 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what’s right, you're in the right place.

About the Role

Due to unprecedented urban growth Melbourne Water is forming a new project team of Senior Asset Managers in order to ensure the registration of new and existing assets.

Reporting to the Jo Hunt, these are pivotal roles within the Service Enablement Catchments and Waterways department.  As the Senior Asset Manager, you will be responsible for: 

  • Providing expert advice and technical direction in developing and applying management regimes that will assess and understand risk, protect and improve the condition and function of developer constructed storm water quality treatment systems and constructed waterway assets, and retarding basins.
  • Developing, applying and communicating relevant approaches for prioritising the maintenance program for developer constructed assets.

We are seeking experienced Asset Managers who can work at the senior level. Fundamentally, they will be comfortable paving the way forward and developing the standardisation of processes and procedures. For this reason, our successful candidates have substantial experience in asset rich workplaces, and have strong capability in data gathering and analysis, assessing risks, asset registration and maintenance in civil, waterway, dam, and headworks. Their background is from any discipline that lends itself to asset management and technical knowledge of assets. 

They will bring with them a knowledge bank of skills and capabilities to evolve the asset management approach at Melbourne Water; have a continuous improvement mindset and have introduced practical innovations to their work.

About you:

Our successful candidates will have:

  • Experience in relevant aspects of Retarding Basin and dam safety management processes and engineering principles, or
  • Experience in all relevant environmental aspects of stormwater quality treatment systems.
  • Experience in developing effective networks in a diverse and complex multiagency delivery environment.
  • Experience working with asset management processes and procedures.
  • Experience working in dams asset management and familiarity with the ANCOLD guidelines as applied to retarding basins a bonus, or
  • Experience working in geomorphology or waterway engineering a bonus
  • Good problem solving and analytical skills which adds value to business and customers.
  • Proven communication and negotiation skills.
  • Extensive coordination, prioritisation and time management skills to deliver on long-term objectives while managing day-to-day challenges within tight timeframes and work unsupervised.
  • Proven judgment working in a complex and multi-agency environment.

There will be a matrix reporting line, as team members settle into their specialisations. You are able to work autonomously, with day to support and guidance from the specialisation managers. Given the context of the new team environment, you also are exceptionally collaborative and have a high respect for contributing to teamwork.

Melbourne Water offers a hybrid work arrangement with great flexibility options. This is an 18-month Fixed Term opportunity and is available for an immediate start.

Why join us:

At Melbourne Water, we care about water and all life that springs from it.

Our people are fuelled by passion, and with safety at the forefront, we have an unwavering sense of purpose and are on a mission to protect every Melburnian’s way of life, one drop at a time.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working – but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do. We're dedicated to doing what's right, and this commitment extends to the meaningful work we do in a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages you to make the most of your talents.

Our long-standing commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging means that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, LGBTIQ+ individuals, people living with disability, mature age and young jobseekers from all cultures can apply with confidence knowing they are safe, affirmed, and celebrated.

If you’re curious, action-orientated, outcomes-focused, and care deeply for public resources, community, and the environment, we'd love to receive an application and learn if you could be a great fit.
