You are strong with data and understand the business impact of information. You will collate divisional information and report both internally (senior management/board) and externally (government) in a timely manner to align with key reporting dates. The operational divisions can provide challenges so your experience, maturity and confidence will allow you to engage a diverse, senior internal stakeholder group in order to secure the data you require. As such, you will need to be tenacious and resilient. There is likely to be some travel during the first few months so that you have the opportunity to gain familiarity with business operations and build relationships with key divisional stakeholders.

In your engineering oriented background you can also point to commercial/finance experience. Other background options could include a scientist or environmental scientist and although a background in government is a possibility, the preference is for the private sector. In an ideal world you will also have had exposure to national greenhouse reporting. This is a high profile and very visible role and you will have access to the EGMs and the CEO, thus offering great potential for launching a career within the company. The role may also suit a mature person looking for a high quality role before retirement.
