• Work closely with People, IT, and business stakeholders to deliver effective configurations, enhancements, and technical solutions.
• Maintain accurate system documentation and ensure adherence to governance, quality, security, Agile, and ITSM practices.

Firstly, strong sense of responsibility, flexibility, and adaptability to varying request. Demonstrated ability to analyse business requirements and deliver solutions in collaboration with business stakeholders to meet deadlines. You will also need the following:

• 3+ years experience in Workday HCM implementation and support, including hands-on configuration, enhancements, and Workday release activities.

• Experience working in a Global Shared Services, multinational, or enterprise environment; Workday certification and exposure to additional Workday modules are highly regarded.

Our Aurecon Attributes describe the types of people we bring together for clients. We don’t expect you to have all eight of the attributes, but one that is unique to you.

Finally, we value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life. Does that sound like you?
