About us

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) have a vacancy within their Solar Victoria portfolio for a Monitoring & Evaluation Officer. This is an exciting opportunity within Solar Victoria to lead the finalisation and implementation of Solar Victoria’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework. The role will ensure appropriate program KPIs and measurements are established, and data is effectively captured, collated and shared with relevant areas. This will help ensure our ongoing impact of Solar Homes is maximised through evidence- informed planning and measurement. 

About you

Our successful candidate has a strong background in establishing and implementing organisational Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks and activities, preferably within a government context. You are a ‘doer’ – you can operationalise a Monitoring and Evaluation framework into a functioning tool that enables the organisation to meet its obligations.

You are very aware of who your customer base is and aware of stakeholder and government requirements and can provide an integrated approach on the organisation’s services that will add long term value. You bring a service excellence mindset and contribute to creating a practice of finding different approaches and solutions that will deliver benefits beyond client or stakeholder expectations.

You are extremely comfortable working in a project environment with competing deadlines. You have delivered on objectives.  You show an agile approach to project delivery – working through bottlenecks methodically and apply systems thinking that enables you to think laterally when solving problems. All that you do will be underpinned by your exceptional ability to be highly organised and ability to set clearly defined objectives and priorities.

You are naturally inclined to a collaborative approach to work that leads to your exceptional stakeholder management capabilities. You also have influencing skills and know how to apply these to form and maintain positive, ongoing and professional working relationships. You manage such communication with key people with ease.  Your advanced communication skills will be used to articulate complex concepts for a range of audiences.   

Your work style naturally lends itself to contributing to an inclusive and team-oriented workplace culture that is collaborative, professional and engaged. You want to be a part of a high performing team that you have contributed to.

You will be a highly dynamic worker, flexible and an agile thinker as you tackle problems and from time to time respond to requests and provide advice within tight time frames. Your highly-developed communication, stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills will be utilised as you navigate complex issues, conversations, expectations and the general demands and priorities of the role.

This is a fixed term position available until 30 June 2021.
