Observing network assets include, but are not limited to, Radars, Automatic Weather Stations, Tsunami Boys, Rain Gauges and other measuring apparatus.
The Asset Management Planner will work with the Asset Management Services Lead to deliver a comprehensive and repeatable strategic planning process that facilitates the collation of ideas and facts into long range and operational plans enabling the broader OSO leadership team to achieve our asset management objectives. Pivotal to this process is a highly tuned collaborative approach, strong analytical capability, an appreciation of engineering concepts and the ability to plan and prioritise programs of work.
Key measures of success will be the practical representation of the annual strategic planning process, including the outcomes reflected in the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) and individual network Asset Management Plans (AMPs), within the Bureau's Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS). Over time as the Bureau's asset management capability and culture matures, incremental continuous improvement and optimisation of both service performance and efficiencies will be expected to be delivered through this process.
The position will contribute to an organisation wide understanding and appreciation of asset management as a discipline and its benefits. This will include the streamlining of business processes, involving relevant stakeholders, product ownership of continuous improvement projects, representation on organisation wide transformation and communication forums and provision of expert advice.
Whilst the initial focus of this position will be the Bureau's observing network assets portfolio, the role may be expanded in future to include a diverse and significant asset base, including property and facilities, information technology and software and intangible assets such as data, intellectual property and forecasting models.
