We protect endangered wildlife across 12.9 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre.

Your key responsibilities will include end-to-end project management and business administration of various systems, including the implementation of a new asset management system. You will play a vital role in planning, consulting, configuring, testing, training, and rolling out these systems, collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure seamless integration and effective use.
As a Systems Delivery Specialist, your primary responsibilities will include:
- Leading end-to-end project management and business administration of multiple systems, including the implementation of a new asset management system.
- Configuring the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software, setting up automated reporting, and centralizing procurement opportunities.
- Supporting the expanded deployment of an existing software platform to improve work planning, reporting, and data collection.
- Leading discussions and working groups to identify system requirements, procurement needs, and improvements.
- Communicating system features, changes, and providing training to staff on system utilisation.
