Water Supply Planning Lead (Senior Advisor)
We are seeking an experienced Water Supply Planning Lead (Senior Advisor) to provide strategic direction and technical leadership across long-term water supply planning. This role will support the development of resilient, sustainable and cost-effective water supply strategies that respond to population growth, changing demand patterns, climate variability and environmental requirements. You will work across multidisciplinary teams to assess future supply and demand, identify risks and opportunities, and recommend practical investment and operational responses.
Your responsibilities will include leading complex planning studies, developing and maintaining water supply and demand forecasts, evaluating augmentation and diversification options, and preparing robust business cases for senior decision-makers. You will oversee scenario analysis, system planning, option appraisal and risk assessment, ensuring that recommendations are supported by sound evidence, appropriate modelling and clear documentation. The role will also contribute to strategic planning frameworks, regulatory submissions, policy development, and the continuous improvement of planning tools, processes and data quality.
As a trusted senior advisor, you will build effective relationships with technical specialists, operational teams, regulators, consultants, community representatives and other stakeholders. You will communicate complex technical information clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, facilitate workshops, and provide authoritative advice on water security and supply planning matters. The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in water resources, water supply planning, infrastructure strategy or a closely related discipline, along with strong analytical, project leadership and written communication skills. A relevant tertiary qualification and demonstrated experience with demand forecasting, system modelling, climate risk, options assessment or integrated water planning are highly desirable. You will be comfortable working with ambiguity, influencing outcomes and delivering high-quality advice within competing priorities and deadlines.
