  • Provide high quality verbal and written updates and reports as required;

To succeed in this role you will also be able to demonstrate:

  • Understanding of wastewater treatment processes;
  • Strong problem solving skills that enable you to work with ambiguity and uncertainty;
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills;
  • Strong stakeholder management skills;
  • Ability to work autonomously with little direction at times and sound judgement, i.e. Knowing when to elevate issues to the General Manager Customer Service Delivery or the Environment Manager and an ability to work with ambiguous environments.
  • A minimum of 10+ years professional experience in a relevant field;
  • Bachelor degree or higher in environmental management, environmental risk assessment, environmental science, environmental engineering, or another relevant field.

What's in it for you?

  • A commitment to worklife balance with truly flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working, leave purchasing and RDO options.
  • 14 weeks paid parental leave for all parents and paid super on unpaid parental leave
  • A range of benefits, including free onsite parking and cultural leave.
  • A great culture working in collaborative teams with strong work ethics.
  • Career focused learning and development opportunities.
  • The opportunity to be part of an organisation committed to environmental initiatives.
  • Enjoy modern office facilities with panoramic beachfront views.

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.
