At Urban Utilities, our purpose is simple yet powerful – Enrich Quality of Life. With a $7 billion asset base and services spanning 1.5 million residents and more than 31,000 commercial customers across South East Queensland, we are committed to enhancing the liveability of our communities every day.
Our civil assets are critical to the delivery of water and wastewater services across South East Queensland. To ensure these assets continue to perform safely, reliably and efficiently, we are seeking an experienced Civil Maintenance Specialist to provide technical leadership, assurance, and continuous improvement across our maintenance delivery programs.
Reporting to the Manager Maintenance Assurance within the Maintenance Services Group, you will play a pivotal role in driving maintenance excellence across a complex and geographically dispersed asset network. Working closely with Network Services, Resource Recovery, Operational teams, and external delivery partners, you will ensure civil maintenance activities meet engineering standards, regulatory obligations, and business expectations.
This is more than a traditional maintenance role. We are looking for a specialist who can identify underlying causes of asset and maintenance performance issues, influence stakeholders, and implement sustainable solutions that improve reliability, compliance, and operational outcomes.
At Urban Utilities, we believe our workforce should reflect the community we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, including First Nations peoples, people with disability, members of the LGBTIQ+ community, veterans, emergency responders and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
You might not meet every single requirement listed. If you are excited about the role and believe you can make a strong contribution, we encourage you to apply.
If you require adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know so we can support you.
Urban Utilities delivers essential water and wastewater services to more than 1.5 million people across South East Queensland. Every day, our teams work to support thriving communities and a sustainable future.
There’s no us without you. Come shape the future with us.
