Clearwater Training Coordinator

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 backyard 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

Reporting to the Program Lead Clearwater, the Clearwater Training Coordinator will support the Clearwater's Integrated Water Management (IWM) capacity building program by coordinating the delivery of IWM training and events and leading the program's communication and engagement activity. This role is integral in driving the implementation of IWM practices through increasing skills, knowledge, and networks across the water industry. This will be achieved through:

• Working with minimal supervision to project manage the delivery of training, events, and other capacity building activities, both online and face-to-face (including planning, implementation, and event logistics).
• Liaising with Clearwater's customers, presenters, venue managers and/or suppliers in coordinating the delivery of water industry training, events, and activities.
• Leading the development and implementation of communication and engagement plans, identifying target audiences, and developing key messages and promotion strategies to ensure attendance at events and successful implementation of capacity building activities.
• Providing excellent customer service and generating new customers for events.
• Maintaining accurate program documentation and program resources within the team's current information management systems.
• Working closely with the Clearwater Program Lead to identify, develop, and implement program improvements and innovations that benefit our customers, stakeholders, and partners.

This is a fixed-term contract role until June 2026 and a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to work on a part-time basis (4 days a week).
