The Senior Technical Advisor will be required to provide advice and technical support during the integrated planning, detailed design, construction, and commissioning phases to assist the project teams with the integration of critical assets into new or existing networks.

  • 15 weeks paid parental leave for all parents and paid super on unpaid parental leave.
  • A range of benefits, including cultural leave, free on-site parking, modern office facilities with panoramic beachfront views.
  • A great culture working in collaborative teams with strong work ethics, in an organisation committed to environmental initiatives.
  • Career focused learning and development opportunities.

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.
