Engagement Lead

Wood has an immediate requirement for an Engagement Lead to join our Digital Consulting team located in Perth, within the Asset Life Optimisation (ALO) service line which is a unique combination of a traditional, technical consulting business paired with an advisory arm, specialising in operations and maintenance transformation. The successful candidate will join an assembly of global talent that is shaping powering successful digital transformation in a practical, tangible way. 

We are looking for individuals who would get a kick out of working closely with clients, and our best global business, digital and deep domain experts, to drive real tangible decarbonisation and transformation outcomes for energy, mining and public infrastructure assets.

You will become part of a team focused on delivering solutions for our client’s assets in Western Australia and the wider APAC region.  

Wood is an inclusive and diverse global community of inquisitive minds and recognised industry innovators, partnering to create new possibilities. 

Join a culture of innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible to seek the best solutions for our clients.  

Based in the heart of Perth's CBD at Dexus Place - 240 St Georges Terrace, with free 24/7 access to an exclusive on-site gym, terrific end of trip facilities, coffee machines serving on demand and plenty of space to get creative.  In addition, you will have access to remote and flexible working options, purchased annual leave and employee discount programs.  

• You will typically lead a client project team of 5-8 business, digital and deep domain experts focussing on rapid and sustained value delivery in maintenance, production, reliability, inventory and emissions
• Our final deliverables and artefacts gravitate towards providing software solutions including artificial intelligence and physics models that continuously look to add value through operations 
• You will lead the day-to-day execution of a client project while guiding and developing individual team members. You’ll work directly with clients and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its end products. You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design, and implementation of business performance approaches, developing tailor-made solutions and working closely with clients to ensure positive impact and sustainable results.
• You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships, and creating a true followership. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction. Your superior analytical, quantitative, and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure successful client projects and team performance.
• Client project work typically includes gathering and analysing information, formulating, and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members.
