**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.

As the Manager Water Resources & Upper Yarra, you will be responsible for ensuring the safe, effective, and efficient delivery of Melbourne Water waterway and catchment obligations, programs, and services in the defined geographical area.

In delivering our services and obligations, you will work closely with our partners and stakeholders, including councils, regulatory authorities and the community, to ensure we meet expectations and provide a great customer experience. For more information please review the Role Mandate: Role Mandate - Water Resources & Upper Yarra Area Manager.pdf

**About you**:

- Graduate qualification in environmental / natural resource management, science, social science or engineering is preferred but not essential
- Proven change leadership experience with demonstrated ability to drive high team performance
- Ability to evolve and execute Melbourne Water’s catchment, waterways and drainage investment plan and service offerings
- Proven continuous improvement capabilities
- Strong commercial acumen
- Ability to influence stakeholder groups
- Highly developed organisational and time management skills
- Valid Victorian driver’s license
- Ability to pass a Police Check and AusCheck

**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.
