As Sewer Operations Lead, you’ll manage the operation and maintenance of sewer assets. Your leadership will be pivotal in developing and embedding sustainable processes that ensure reliable, resilient, efficient, and safe operation of the system—directly supporting Barwon Water’s Strategy 2030 and regional prosperity vision.

You’ll set the strategic direction for Sewer Operations, drive process improvements, and foster a high-performance, accountable culture.

You bring a track record in supporting teams, building high-performance cultures, and delivering complex projects and operational solutions. You’re committed to safety, risk management, and regulatory compliance, and you thrive in a collaborative, innovative, and inclusive environment.

With a bachelor degree engineering (chemical, process or similar), or science, you’ll be challenged in this dynamic role but surrounded by leaders who empower your decision making and continued growth.This is the ideal role for those seeking longer term impact across the region.
