The Opportunity

Reporting to the Internal Mobility Manager ANZ, this role sits within the Energy & Utilities Talent & Development team, part of the broader People & Culture function.

As our Senior Internal Mobility Business Partner, you will work closely with operational leaders, People & Culture and Talent Acquisition teams to identify suitable redeployment opportunities, support employees impacted by organisational change and ensure positive transition experiences. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to leaders and employees alike, balancing commercial outcomes with a culture of care. 

While redeployment and workforce transition are key priorities today, this role also offers the opportunity to contribute to the continued evolution of Internal Mobility across Energy & Utilities, helping to embed best practice talent movement, career development and succession initiatives into the future. 

What You'll Do

• Lead redeployment and career transition activities across Energy & Utilities, supporting employees through periods of change.
• Partner with business leaders, People & Culture and Talent Acquisition teams to identify and secure suitable internal opportunities. 
• Conduct detailed career and skills conversations with employees to understand their experience, aspirations and mobility options. 
• Support complex workforce planning and demobilisation activities, ensuring compliance and a positive employee experience. 
• Use workforce data and insights to identify trends, risks and opportunities that strengthen retention and talent outcomes. 

What We Offer

• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to employees navigating organisational change.
• A highly collaborative role partnering with leaders across a large and diverse trans-Tasman business.
• Exposure to workforce planning, redeployment, succession and organisational capability initiatives.
• Flexible working arrangements, an on-site café, and the flexibility and autonomy to work in a way that enables you to thrive.
• Access to Downer's employee benefits, wellbeing initiatives and professional development programs.
• The chance to contribute to the growth and maturity of Internal Mobility across Energy & Utilities.

What We're Looking For

Success in this role requires equal parts stakeholder influence, commercial thinking and empathy.

• Experience in redeployment, talent acquisition, workforce planning, internal mobility or a related People & Culture discipline. 
• Demonstrated ability to build credibility and influence outcomes with leaders at multiple levels. 
• Experience supporting employees through workforce change, career transitions or organisational restructures. 
• Strong communication, relationship management and problem-solving skills. 
• A genuine passion for employee advocacy, talent retention and helping people navigate change successfully.
