The opportunity

Due to an internal movement, we now have an exciting opportunity available!

In this role you will play a key part in ensuring water and wastewater assets remain safe, reliable, and optimised to deliver essential services for now and into the future.

As the corrosion subject matter expert, you will be providing strategic and technical leadership in asset integrity with a focus on corrosion management, integrating condition monitoring, preventative maintenance, and performance analysis to sustain and enhance asset performance.

Being technically astute with a pragmatic lens, you will lead and work towards continually improving the integrity and optimisation programs that protect asset condition, minimise lifecycle risk, and deliver the best value from GWW’s infrastructure investments. Part of the role includes travelling to sites within GWW’s network to ensure the program’s success.

Working with a diverse stakeholder group from operators, technical contractors to our executive team, you will be the trusted partner, providing leadership, technical capability, and working towards supporting the corrosion protection of GWW’s assets.

Responsibilities

• Leading, embedding, and maintaining GWW’s long term corrosion and asset integrity strategic framework.
• Providing expert advice on asset integrity and optimisation across all asset classes, including pipelines, tanks, pump stations, treatment plants, and associated infrastructure.
• Leading the design, delivery, and improvement of programs that monitor and protect asset condition, including corrosion prevention, tank management, and other integrity initiatives.
• Monitor, maintain and assess the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems and electrolysis management systems.
• Partnering with other areas of GWW to ensure asset integrity and performance considerations are embedded through the asset lifecycle.
• Supporting investigations into asset performance and failure events, identifying root causes and driving continuous improvement.
• Championing innovation, data-driven decision making, and a culture of proactive asset management to extend asset life and enhance reliability.

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in project management, including managing budgets and coordination of external consultants and contractors.
• Demonstrated ability to work with limited direction, applying a self-managed and proactive approach to resolving complex technical issues.
• Strong understanding of relevant Australian corrosion standards, and practical knowledge of cathodic protection technologies.
• High attention to detail in reviewing designs, reports, surveys, investigation findings, and outputs from corrosion field services programs.

• Ability to lead, influence and provide clear technical direction to peers and project stakeholders on corrosion related matters.

• Tertiary qualification in Engineering or Science or equivalent.
• Current driver’s licence.
