They are usually responsible for operational outcomes in a specific area, project or field. To achieve this they are often required to negotiate and liaise with others across the department at all levels.
Senior officers help to build organisational capacity and capability as it relates to water plans, policy, availability and use. Senior officers represent the Department at meetings and/or community forums and contribute to appropriate stakeholder management. They provide some mentoring and coaching of less experienced staff.
