Senior Consultant - Water Planning

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?

Our Adelaide Water team is currently seeking senior consultants with Asset Management & Planning experience in the water industry. You will play an integral part in a high-performing team of skilled water specialists that ‘bring ideas to life’ for a diverse range of internal and external clients, including within the public and private sector. In joining our market-leading team, you will contribute to the delivery of our growing portfolio of water strategy and planning projects in South Australia and across the broader ANZ region.

Here Are The Key Things You’ll Do:

• Work with our key clients across multi-disciplinary teams, supporting project development for critical water & wastewater infrastructure investments and strategies
• Deliver integrated water servicing strategies and plans for new development precincts and sustaining capital assets.
• Deliver valued water and wastewater planning solutions in response to key drivers including growth servicing, asset renewals, asset reliability, system resilience, regulatory compliance, sustainability and liveability.
• Consider and assess whole-of-lifecycle costs and associated risks and benefits in system plans, including comprehensive analysis of potential infrastructure investment opportunities, assessing their viability via master planning, business case frameworks, and feasibility studies.
• Collaborate with internal teams, to bring together our design, engineering and advisory capabilities in the delivery of seamless client experiences.
• Contribute to business development including connecting with clients, identifying opportunities and supporting pursuits.
• Support junior members of the water team in the development of their asset management and planning skills.

We know today's complex challenges can only be solved through bringing together diverse teams of people from across our business, so there will be opportunities for you to apply your skills and creativity to projects in other geographies and markets, as well as across the Asset Lifecycle, from planning through to design and delivery.
