Who are we?
When you join Water Corporation, you play an important role for the people of WA. Our services are essential for life - everyday, millions of Western Australians rely on us to deliver and manage water across our state.
If you’re driven to make a meaningful contribution, you’ve come to the right place.

Bunbury, known as the City of Three Waters, the place to swim with dolphins, and the popular Farmers Market.
Whether you are local to Bunbury or you may be looking for a sea change, this permanent full-time opportunity as a Team Leader – Occupational Safety & Health may be for you.
But your work doesn’t stop at just Bunbury! You will immerse across all parts of the Southwest Region.
From the rolling hills of Bridgetown, to being surrounded by the Karri Forest in Pemberton, to the unspoilt coastline along Margaret River. From Waroona, Collie, Augusta, and everywhere in between, these picturesque places form part of your office on the road!

From annual business planning to ad hoc strategies and improvements, this role will have you juggling proactive and reactive tasks. You may have incidents which requires your ability to investigate, report, and quantify improvement strategies and support to prevent occupational incidents from occurring.
You love the Southwest, you will love the team!
Teamwork without ‘team’ is ultimately just work! But not here!
You will work with a close-knit team who are big on teamwork! The team is small, but we service a large area, so we understand that importance of helping one another out to achieve success.
This is a united team working towards a common goal, that being making sure our people get home safely!
You will play a vital key to lead and guide your team in exceeding in performance.
While you will work autonomously as Lead, you will also play an influential role within the wider business on certain safety matter and working closely with our Perth central OSH team.
Your first few months will be adjusting to the new role and getting a comprehensive understanding of our business.
You will meet your key operational stakeholders across the regions to get insight into the work we do, focussing on the high-risk tasks we perform, and ultimately work with these internal stakeholders on what their needs are to ensure safe delivery of works.
The fundamentals of the role:
Participate in OSH risk profiling including assisting with hazard management and trend monitoring.
Coordinate the preparation of reports to ensure compliance with Corporate, Group, region, and legislative requirements.
Coach regional managers, supervisors and other personnel on their OSH responsibilities and accountabilities relating to their roles and support them to fulfil those accountabilities.
Facilitate and coach staff on technical aspects of work practices and procedures to support work outcomes including assisting with safe job planning.
