About the Role
SUEZ is seeking an experienced Asset Manager to oversee the asset performance, lifecycle planning and maintenance governance of the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant, a major piece of infrastructure providing, on average, 15% of Perth's drinking water.
As part of the Operations & Maintenance Alliance with Water Corporation, you will play a key role in ensuring the plant continues to operate safely, reliably and efficiently. The position combines strategic asset planning with hands‑on involvement, working closely with operations, engineering and maintenance teams to optimise asset life, ensure compliance and support day‑to‑day performance.
You will lead maintenance strategies, corrective and preventative maintenance activities, engineering projects, shutdowns and manage an operational budget aligned to long‑term asset outcomes. This role directly supports SUEZ's 2030 strategy by enhancing asset performance, strengthening governance and contributing to high‑quality service delivery for the community.
The environment is well‑established, supported by strong systems, programs and an integrated team. The role offers regular engagement with the client, broad visibility across the Alliance, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through improved asset reliability, cost optimisation and long‑term planning.
About You
You are an experienced engineering professional with a strong background in asset management and the operation of complex industrial assets. You may come from sectors such as water, energy, resources, refining, heavy manufacturing or similar environments requiring high discipline and reliability.
You bring strong capability across asset lifecycle planning, maintenance engineering, reliability practices and risk‑based decision‑making. You are comfortable working within CMMS environments, interpreting technical information and applying structured frameworks such as ISO 55001.
Your leadership approach is collaborative, clear and practical. You work well with multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively with stakeholders and bring a balanced commercial mindset. You enjoy combining technical depth with hands‑on engagement at the plant and have the judgment to align cost, risk and performance outcomes.
