Facilitate workshops, executive briefings, gateway reviews, design assurance activities, and stakeholder consultations.
Build strong, trusting relationships with client executives, senior project directors, and government decision-makers.
Lead, mentor, and develop advisory staff across planning, economics, engineering, commercial, and project management disciplines.

About you

Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Economics, Planning, Project Management, Business or related discipline.
Approx. 8+ years relevant experience in infrastructure planning, advisory, design, or program delivery.
Experience working in or with SA Water, DIT, or other major utilities.
Demonstrated success leading complex advisory engagements, business cases, or large integrated programs.
Extensive experience in infrastructure advisory, planning, engineering, or program management in a consulting or government environment.
Strong understanding of water and wastewater networks and treatment, asset management, regulatory processes, and capital planning preferred.
Strong commercial acumen with ability to lead bids, proposals, and commercial negotiations preferred.
Excellent communication skills, including executive writing and high-impact presentation abilities.
