Water operations technician traineeships

We have technical traineeships for water services, known as Water Operations Technician.

They are responsible for operating, maintaining, and monitoring water treatment and distribution systems. Their primary role is to help us provide clean, safe drinking water to communities, and treat wastewater and sewage effectively.

Throughout the two-year traineeship, your training will focus on achieving a NWP30219 Certificate III in Water Industry Operations. Through on-the-job training, you’ll cover a broad range of essential topics, learning about water treatment processes, quality testing, and distribution systems, along with maintenance, safety, and compliance measures. Environmental awareness and emergency response training are also included. You’ll work under the supervision of experienced water operations technicians to gain practical experience and gradually assume greater responsibilities as you learn more.

Key responsibilities may include

Water treatment

Operating and monitoring water treatment facilities to ensure water is treated according to quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Distribution system maintenance

Inspecting, repairing, and maintaining water distribution pipelines, pumps, valves, and other equipment to prevent leaks or contamination.

Water quality monitoring

Conducting regular testing and analysis of water samples to monitor water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, chlorine levels, and bacterial contamination.

Subjects to focus on

Science

Chemistry, biology, and environmental science provide fundamental knowledge about water properties, treatment processes, and environmental impacts.

Maths

Essential for performing calculations related to water treatment processes, such as dosing chemicals or measuring flow rates in distribution systems.

Physics

Understanding the principles of fluid dynamics, pressure, and energy transfer helps explain how equipment such as pumps and valves work.
