Crew Natural Resource Management

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.

We currently have a Crew Natural Resource Management vacancy in our Westernport Field Delivery team, based at our depot in the Koo Wee Rup township.

This exciting and dynamic role will allow you to make a difference by improving the biodiversity of the waterways in the Koo Wee Rup district, the Lang Lang and Bass River catchments, as well as Phillip Island. Working alongside traditional landowners, these vital roles ensure the successful delivery of natural resource management and project works within the Westernport region.

As a Crew Member, you will work as part of a team to execute Natural Resource Management tasks, including weed control and revegetation along the waterways and land in this region.

Your ability to collaborate as part of a team, combined with experience in Natural Resource Management and a passion for improving biodiversity and the liveability of your community, will ensure your success in this role.

Due to the travel required, you must hold a valid Victorian driver's licence
