To this end, we have just moved to a new asset management database – AIMS:OM (Asset Information Management System, Operations and Maintenance) – which will transform how assets are currently managed within WLB.
This role will include
- Cleansing of data post migration into AIMS:OM asset management database.
- Setting up of recurring maintenance activities and inspections
- Supporting ways to improve sustainability and resilience of assets by improving the data
- Potential for infrequent site visits whilst working with asset management colleagues or for data verification.
The team
Reporting to the WLB Asset Management Team Leader, you will work with a range of colleagues from asset management both in Area and National, including teams such as Hydrometry and Telemetry, Groundwater and Contaminated Land, Hydrology, Fisheries, Biodiversity and Geomorphology. There may be a need for joined up working with colleagues from other business functions. You will form part of a national community of practice for asset management.
Experience/skills required

- Able to develop and maintain good relationships
- Ability to collate and interpret different sources of data in an accurate and efficient manner.

- Work under own initiative and as part of a team to make decisions and achieve outcomes
- Organisational skills and an ability to use systems and applications
- Have an eye for detail, be efficient and able to persevere with tasks.
