• Prosci certification and ability to apply Hunter Water's Prosci methodology to process improvement and business readiness.
• Strong analytical skills and understanding of integrated enterprise systems, using data to identify improvements, measure benefits and inform decisions.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation skills, with experience developing requirements, process maps, user stories, acceptance criteria and business cases.
• Experience with configurable operational platforms such as FSM, PSO, IFS Cloud, GIS, ERP, scheduling or asset management systems.
• Experience coordinating vendors and delivery partners, and knowledge of continuous improvement, Lean or operational excellence methodologies.
