About the Company
Davidson is working with our client, a large-scale infrastructure and service delivery organisation responsible for the planning, performance and optimisation of water and wastewater networks supporting over 600,000 properties and 1.5 million customers. Operating within a complex and highly regulated environment, our client is committed to delivering safe, reliable and efficient services, with a strong focus on customer outcomes, operational excellence and long-term asset performance.
About the Role
Our client has an exciting opportunity for a Project Manager to join their newly formed Integrated Operations Planning (IOP) team within the Operations and Maintenance Planning Group.
The IOP function plays a critical role in transitioning operations from reactive to planned delivery, reducing customer disruption, controlling costs and improving safety outcomes across the network. As Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing complex, high-impact network activities and interventions, working across multidisciplinary internal and external stakeholder groups.
- Lead project management for complex network interventions across SEQwater interfaces, government-led projects, developer services and network maintenance programs.
- Deliver project management for complex recovery and prevention solutions impacting critical network operations.
- Support integrated network activity planning to improve scheduling visibility and coordination across operational teams.
- Manage complex customer and stakeholder interfaces, including key and critical customer accounts.
- Collaborate closely with interdisciplinary internal teams and external partners to deliver coordinated, best-for-business outcomes.
- Contribute to improved network efficiency, reliability, safety and customer satisfaction through structured planning and delivery.
About You

- Proven ability to build strong, effective working relationships with internal teams, clients and external stakeholders.
