Clearwater Training Coordinator

Join to apply for the Clearwater Training Coordinator role at Melbourne Water

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life. As caretakers for Melbourne's water cycle, we care for water, life, and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity. Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a backyard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra we're there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world's cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home, just as we have for over 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what's right, you're in the right place.
