Reporting to the Head of Infrastructure and Strategy, you’ll oversee model maintenance programmes, including scoping, project management, procurement, contract oversight, network gauging, data collection, quality assurance, and the presentation and management of modelling outputs.
You’ll provide trusted leadership and expert technical advice on all 3 Waters modelling matters, supporting strategic infrastructure planners and guiding external consultants who work with IAWAI’s models. You’ll also collaborate with developers to define modelling needs, agree on scopes, and review outputs ensuring modelling work is robust, fit‑for‑purpose, and aligned with IAWAI’s strategic direction.
