**Who we are**:
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 yard 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.

**About the Role**:
Do you want to spend your days improving the health of waterways, wetlands and estuaries on the Mornington Peninsula? If so, this role could be for you.

As the Waterways and Land Officer for the Mornington Peninsula, you will work with a collaborative team of colleagues based from our South East Regional Office in Bangholme, to maintain and improve the waterways, wetlands and estuaries in the area. You will be guided by the Healthy Waterways Strategy 2018-2028, working to improve the health of waterways by writing up projects, giving grants to landholders, responding to proposed developments near waterways, commissioning ecological investigations and collaborating with other organisations and groups.

**About you**:

- Respectful relationship building skills to enable engagement with Traditional Owners, enhancing opportunities to work together on country.
- Analytical and problem solving skills, including the ability to determine and adapt management approaches for a broad range of waterway, catchment, drainage and land management situations.
- Experience in waterway, catchment, drainage and land asset management, natural resource management, waterway planning and rehabilitation practices, and statutory planning processes.
- Well-developed interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate clearly and effectively with a wide range of people both within Melbourne Water, external organisations and with the general public, sometimes in conflict situations.
- Demonstrated project and contract management skills and the ability to supervise consultants.
- A proactive, solutions-focused, continuous improvement mindset and demonstrated resilience.
- Valid Victorian Driver’s License
- Able to pass a Criminal Record check

**Why join us**:
At Melbourne Water, we care about water and all life that springs from it.

Our people are fuelled by passion, and with safety at the forefront, we have an unwavering sense of purpose, and are on a mission to protect every Melburnian’s way of life, one drop at a time.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working - but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do. We're dedicated to doing what's right, and this commitment extends to the meaningful work we do in a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages you to make the most of your talents.
