In this role, you will be mentored while contributing to the Integrated Operations Planning (IOP) process, which manages over 19,000km of critical infrastructure.

Isolation Planning: Learn to develop and peer-review isolation plans for water and sewer networks under the guidance of senior colleagues.
Data Exploration: Conduct research and use business intelligence tools to analyze trends and themes from primary data sources.
Continuous Improvement: Contribute fresh ideas to refine business processes and identify opportunities for innovation.
Stakeholder Liaison: Collaborate with internal teams to ensure planned activities are prioritized and executed efficiently.
We are looking for a motivated professional with a growth mindset and strong analytical potential.
Selection Criteria:
Experience: We encourage applicants who are early in their career or recent graduates who have demonstrated strong technical aptitude in engineering or planning environments.
Education: Technical certification is required; qualifications in Data Science, Business Analysis, Risk Management, or Production Planning would be highly regarded.
Analytical Skills: Ability to interpret technical information and contribute to data-driven decision-making.
Software Skills: Exposure to integrated planning systems, Power BI, or other data analytics tools is a plus.
Communication: Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team environment.
Professional Membership: Eligibility for membership with Engineers Australia is desirable.
At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
