Melbourne, Australia Melbourne Water Full time

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 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

This part time fixed term contract (through to June ) is based at either our Docklands head office, or our South East Regional Office in Bangholme.

As the Ramsar Partnerships Coordinator you will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Western Port Ramsar Site Management Plan through collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, and convening and chairing the Western Port Ramsar Site Coordinating Committee. The role will also deliver the ‘Restoring Western Port’ project on behalf of State Government.
