Role Purpose
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and working closely with the Executive Leadership Team, the Executive Leader Service Delivery will have overall accountability for the efficient and reliable operation and optimisation of network and customer operations, ensuring customers receive high quality and affordable services. Day-to-day operations are continually optimised through customer insights, reporting and operational intelligence.
Leading a diverse team of both professional and operational staff, this is a role that requires a strong influencer who can motivate the Service Delivery group to achieve the highest safety ratings, protecting staff, customers and community from harm or hazard from Urban Utilities operations.
This pivotal executive appointment will play a key role in the transformation of Urban Utilities to its future state.
Key Role Requirements

Tertiary qualification in a relevant business, science, engineering, environment
You will also need to possess a valid Queensland C class drivers’ licence, or equivalent interstate licence, as there will be a requirement to work across multiple sites not serviced by public transport.
