• Coordinate technical documentation and maintain data integrity

• A Bachelor of Engineering (required), with 7+ years in industrial, consulting, or design engineering roles
• Proven experience in Water/Wastewater Treatment plant design and optimisation
• Solid understanding of Australian environmental standards and water regulations
• Strong ability to collaborate in cross-functional and team-based environments
