Mid-Western Regional Council is seeking an Asset Engineer to join its Asset Management team based in Mudgee.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Civil Engineer looking to build a career in asset management while working across one of regional NSW's largest and most diverse infrastructure portfolios.

Reporting to the Asset Management Coordinator, you'll help develop Asset Management Plans, improve asset data, support long-term capital planning and work closely with operational teams to improve the way Council manages its infrastructure.

While previous Local Government asset management experience is valued, Council is equally interested in candidates with strong engineering fundamentals, analytical thinking and the ability to learn. Training and mentoring will be provided for the right person.

The Opportunity
This is a varied role combining engineering, data analysis and long-term infrastructure planning.

Working across roads, drainage and other civil assets, you'll help improve asset management systems, develop maintenance strategies, support capital works planning and ensure Council has the information needed to make sound investment decisions.

You'll work closely with engineers, operational managers and field teams, gaining exposure to TechnologyOne and broader asset management practices while contributing to continuous improvement across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities
  • Assist in developing Asset Management Plans across Council's infrastructure portfolio.
  • Support long-term capital works and renewal planning.
  • Maintain and improve asset registers and condition data.
  • Develop maintenance strategies and support asset lifecycle planning.
  • Work with operational teams to improve asset management systems and processes.
  • Support the ongoing development of TechnologyOne Asset Management.
  • Analyse asset data to support evidence-based decision making.
  • Contribute to engineering investigations and infrastructure projects where required.
About You
This role would suit an Asset Engineer, Civil Engineer or emerging engineering professional looking to build a career in infrastructure asset management.

Council is open to experienced asset professionals, engineers from consulting or construction backgrounds, and high-quality graduates with an Australian Civil Engineering degree.

You will bring:
  • Degree in Civil Engineering recognised by Engineers Australia.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • An interest in infrastructure asset management and long-term planning.
  • Ability to learn independently and manage your own workload.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across technical and operational teams.
  • High level of computer literacy.
  • Current Class C Driver Licence.
Experience within Local Government or TechnologyOne is advantageous but not essential.

Why Mid-Western?
Mid-Western Regional Council manages a diverse infrastructure portfolio supporting one of regional NSW's fastest growing communities.

You'll join an experienced team committed to developing capability and giving engineers exposure across asset planning, lifecycle management, data analysis and long-term infrastructure strategy.

Whether you're already working in asset management or looking to transition into the discipline, this role provides genuine mentoring, broad exposure and the opportunity to develop specialist skills in a supportive environment.

Benefits
  • Salary of $97,416.80 - $109,636.80 plus super.
  • Permanent full-time position.
  • 35-hour working week with an RDO every four weeks.
  • Relocation assistance available.
  • Ongoing professional development and training.
  • Opportunity to work across a broad and diverse infrastructure portfolio.
  • Lifestyle benefits of living in the Mudgee region.
