Asset Systems Officer (Infrastructure)

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

About You

We are looking for someone who:

• Is pro-active, organised, curious and willing to get into the details
• Can work effectively across technical, operational and financial teams

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.
