Who are we?

We're here to help people live well and create a better and more sustainable future. We support healthy and liveable communities by delivering water, sewerage and recycled water services to 1.77 million people who rely on us every day and every night. At South East Water, we innovate with purpose and act with care to deliver healthy water for life. Fresh thinking and collaboration are at the heart of our organisation. We are constantly learning, embracing the challenges of today and excited by the opportunities that tomorrow will bring.

The role

We are looking for someone with initiative and a can-do attitude to join us as a Water Recycling Plant (WRP) Operator. Our WRPs service areas include the Mornington Peninsula, Pakenham and around Westernport Bay. The role is part of a supportive team that is critical in safely operating our WRPs to support the community and protect our environment.

As a WRP Operator, your day may involve:

  • Taking a walk around your allocated area of the treatment plant to ensure the process and equipment is working as intended
  • Talking with the Lead Operator of the WRP and your team mates to prioritise your tasks and help with critical activities
  • Testing samples in the lab and monitoring trends on our control system so you can assess the performance of your area of the plant
  • Issuing work permits and reviewing safe work method statements for jobs undertaken by our contractor partners to ensure the work is carried out safely and without impact on the plant
  • Being a part of a team that embraces new technologies to maximise efficiency and environmental outcomes
  • Once you are familiar with the plant, joining the on-call roster to monitor and respond to faults with the WRPs afterhours

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who:

  • Enjoys a mix of outdoor and desk-based work
  • Likes solving problems
  • Enjoys working in a close-knit team
  • Wants to help protect our environment
  • Can share ideas and engage with a variety of people
  • Likes to learn new concepts and processes
  • Ideally has a background in wastewater treatment, an engineering or science degree.

What's in it for you?

Aside from working in a beautiful part of the world, you'll be in a job that makes a real difference and can enjoy:

  • A work vehicle (tool of the trade)
  • Competitive salary range starting from $83,839 + super + access to overtime (once on-call)
  • A range of benefits, including access to Fitness Passports, health checks, cultural leave
  • 15 weeks paid parental leave for all parents and paid super on unpaid parental leave
  • Career focused learning and development opportunities
  • The opportunity to be part of an organisation committed to being a leader in environmental initiatives
  • A great culture working in collaborative teams with strong work ethics.

We're for everyone

We do meaningful work, but how we do it is just as important. We're here to help people live well, protect the environment, and keep healthy water and resources accessible and affordable for all. We know to make a positive difference we need to support our people to be their very best. Flexibility and innovation are at the heart of how we work. But it's our people's collective ambition, authenticity and differences that bring our culture to life.

Our people are as diverse as the communities we serve. Everyone brings a unique voice and a refreshing perspective that keeps us innovating. It makes us better learners, thinkers and collaborators, helping create better outcomes for our customers. Even though we're all different, we still share a common goal to deliver healthy water for life.

We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, members of the LGBTIQ+ community, people with disability and from culturally diverse backgrounds. We aim to provide an inclusive and accessible workplace for everyone. If you need any help with the application process or would like to discuss your reasonable adjustments during interviews, or to learn more about the role, please contact:
