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.

We are currently recruiting three Capital Initiation Officers. These newly created, ongoing positions are based across the following teams and locations:

- Peninsula Westernport team, based at the South East Regional Office in Bangholme.
- Werribee team, based at MW head office in Docklands.
- Maribyrnong team, based at MW head office in Docklands.

All three roles require frequent travel to various MW work centres and stakeholder meetings, a pool car will be provided.

In these roles you will help shape projects that make a real difference to our natural environment. These roles are graded level 5, offering $99,581 + Super.

Duties include:

- Undertaking project investigation, scoping and design to clearly define what needs to be delivered.
- Organising and coordinating projects to ensure requirements, constraints and stakeholder needs are understood upfront.
- Working across projects ranging from approximately $100,000 to $1 million.
- Managing projects with varying levels of scale, complexity and stakeholder involvement.
- Building strong relationships with a broad range of internal and external customers and stakeholders.
- Engaging with stakeholders including local councils,



landowners, heritage bodies, and other agencies.
- Partnering with our delivery teams as scoped projects move into implementation.
- Using information, asset and spatial systems to understand existing assets and inform project planning. (Experience with ALTUS, Maximo and GIS would be beneficial.)

We’d particularly like to hear from people who have experience in areas such as:

- Natural resource or environmental projects with a focus on waterways
- Minor capital works or infrastructure projects
- Project scoping, investigation and design
- Asset management or maintenance environments
- Coordinating multiple stakeholders and competing requirements
- Working with councils, government agencies, landowners or other external stakeholders
- Experience with ALTUS, Maximo or GIS is beneficial but not essential

This is a role where you can genuinely see the difference your work makes to the environment. You’ll help turn an idea into a well-scoped project and see it through to delivery. There is plenty of opportunity to build your experience and make an impact.

If you’re curious, action-oriented, outcomes-focused, and care deeply for public resources, community, and the setting, we'd love to receive an application from you.
