About the Project
These opportunities sit within Barwon Water's Buniya Digital Transformation Program, a major enterprise-wide initiative focused on modernising systems, processes and ways of working.

Reporting into the Product Owner / Agile Delivery Lead and working within cross-functional delivery squads, you will provide the technical clarity required to support design-led delivery across the WAM program.
