Shape a newly created executive role at the centre of coNEXA's growth, stewarding major water infrastructure from concept through to operation.

coNEXA Infrastructure Partners develops, delivers, owns and operates water infrastructure across Australia, recycling up to 15 billion litres of water each year through AquaNet, Kooragang Water, Lightsview and Willunga Basin Water. It combines the agility of a focused infrastructure company with the capital strength of its owner, the ~$10B Global Diversified Infrastructure Fund, and its fund manager, Igneo. With a recently announced $250m expansion of AquaNet to supply Western Sydney data centres, the business is entering a significant period of growth.

Reporting to the CEO, this newly created executive role is the custodian of coNEXA's infrastructure across the full asset lifecycle, from opportunity development and financial close through delivery, commissioning and long-term operation. Sitting across Growth, Engineering, Finance and Operations, you will lead engineering, projects and asset teams in NSW and SA, partner with the coNEXA C-suite on major opportunities and represent coNEXA in discussions with customers, partners and stakeholders.

You are a senior infrastructure executive with experience across several stages of the asset lifecycle in water, utilities, energy, data centres, transport or PPPs. You combine strong commercial, legal and investment acumen with the technical depth to challenge engineering assumptions, and you influence across functions and Boards with enterprise judgement and low ego. A tertiary qualification in engineering, law or commerce is expected.

This is an opportunity to shape a role, not simply step into one. You will ensure major opportunities move from concept to operation with continuity of thinking, risks are addressed early and future value is embedded in each deal, joining the executive team at a pivotal moment with the backing of a global infrastructure investor. With a whole of business remit and close partnership with the CEO, the role also offers a natural pathway to the most senior leadership position in the organisation.
