At South East Water, we innovate with purpose and act with care to deliver healthy water for life. Fresh thinking and collaboration are at the heart of our organisation. We are constantly learning, embracing the challenges of today and excited by the opportunities that tomorrow will bring.

We're seeking a Property Development Officer to join our Customer Connections Group on a fixed-term, 12 month leave cover contract.

Cases officers are responsible for preparing agreements which outline fees and conditions for new builds and redevelopment of multi units and non-residential developments, which require a connection to sewer, water, and recycled water.

In the role you will also assess plans against a set of criteria to ensure that new developments don't damage South East Water's assets. One on One training will be provided, but we are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves to problem solve.

To be successful in this role, you'll have experience in a similar customer facing role along with:

• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, time sensitive environment
• Sound ability to analyse applications and determine alternative servicing options to benefit the customer and South East Water
• Ability to interpret building plans and an high level understanding of the building construction processes
• High level of negotiation skills to resolve servicing and financial requirements with our customers

• A great culture working in collaborative teams with strong work ethics.
• Career focused learning and development opportunities.
• The opportunity to be part of an organisation committed to environmental initiatives.
• Enjoy modern office facilities with panoramic beachfront views.

We do meaningful work, but how we do it is just as important. We're here to help people live well, protect the environment, and keep healthy water and resources accessible and affordable for all. We know to make a positive difference we need to support our people to be their very best. Flexibility and innovation are at the heart of how we work. But it's our people's collective ambition, authenticity and differences that bring our culture to life.

Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. Everyone brings a unique voice and a refreshing perspective that keeps us innovating. It makes us better learners, thinkers and collaborators, helping create better outcomes for our customers. Even though we're all different, we still share a common goal to deliver healthy water for life.

We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, members of the LGBTIQ+ community, people with disability and from culturally diverse backgrounds. We aim to provide an inclusive and accessible workplace for everyone.
