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

Reporting to the Manager, Contractor & Continuous Improvement, this is a full time, permanent role within the People Systems & Insights team. As the People Systems & Projects Lead you will be accountable for ensuring the configuration and integrations of our people systems are secured, fit-for-purpose, reliable and efficiently maintained for data integrity.

• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for people system issues
• Partner with IT and business teams to deliver initiatives and manage service providers
• Identify, scope and lead continuous improvement projects

About You

• You enjoy leading work and bringing people along for the journey, whether it be for an upgrade or new functionality, you can positively influence others
• You walk the talk, focused on delivering outcomes to minimise impact to stakeholders (both for tactical and strategic initiatives)
• You see opportunity and act, rather than repeating the same inefficient processes
• You plan, knowing that change has impact and you have a ‘no surprises’ approach
• You have experience in HR systems, from understanding configuration, to delivering upgrades, to understanding what’s possible
