Your Next Big Adventure Awaits

The Shire of East Pilbara is on the hunt for 2x full-time Aquatic Officers in 2 unique locations: The Newman Aquatic Centre or the brand-new swimming pool in Nullagine, with occasional support at the Marble Bar Swimming Pool. Reporting to the Team Leader Aquatic Services, you'll lead a team, manage facility maintenance, ensure safety standards are met, and bring fresh energy to community programs and services.

With a rotating fortnightly roster, this role also includes travel to regional sites, keeping every day dynamic and exciting.

This isn't just a job—it's your chance to make a real impact in the community, especially by connecting with First Nations communities and youth. If you're proactive, detail-oriented, and adaptable, and value a peaceful lifestyle in a close-knit environment, this opportunity is for you

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading lifeguards and swim teachers to deliver outstanding customer service
  • Monitoring pool water chemistry and plant room operations to meet health regulations
  • Performing emergency response tasks, including first aid and crowd control
  • Assisting in the planning and promotion of community programs and events
  • Coordinating maintenance and liaising with teams to ensure top facility standards

  • Adhering to safety standards, regulations, and policies

This position offers a 40-hour workweek, which includes 38 standard hours plus 2 hours of Rostered Day Off (RDO). Additionally, 7 hours of overtime are factored into the role, resulting in a structured 47-hour week. The inclusive salary package ensures consistency and fairness, with employees receiving the same pay regardless of whether overtime is required. While occasional overtime may be needed, it is not a regular expectation.
