We are seeking two (2) practical, capable and process-oriented Asset Systems Officers to assist in the continuous improvement of our asset management function.

This is an opportunity for someone who can bring together engineering understanding, financial acumen and strong systems/data capability and use those skills to support better decisions across council.

About the Role

You will play an important role in maintaining and improving Council's asset information and systems, supporting asset planning and lifecycle management, and turning infrastructure data into useful financial and operational information.

You will work closely with our finance and works department helping Council understand:

• What assets we have and where they are
• Asset condition, value, risk and maintenance needs
• When assets need renewal or replacement
• How better system data can improve decision-making
• Please see attached Position Description for more information

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Has an understanding of engineering, infrastructure or asset management
• Is confident working with financial information, budgets, forecasting, data, and reconciliations
• Has strong systems, Excel, GIS, database or asset management system capability
• Can analyse information and turn it into practical recommendations
• Is pro-active, organised, curious and willing to get into the details
• Can work effectively across technical, operational and financial teams
• Is committed to making a genuine contribution to our shire and our community

Think your experience doesn't quite fit?

That's okay.

We are deliberately looking beyond traditional asset management roles. You may come from engineering, works, GIS, finance, mining, utilities, construction or infrastructure.

Experience in Local Government is valuable, but the right mindset and transferrable skills are more important.

If you're someone who understands how things work, is comfortable with numbers and systems, and wants a role where your work has a tangible community impact, we'd like to hear from you.

• 9-day fortnight, in a secure full-time position
