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.
What does a Water Operator do?
Picture a plumber fixing a burst pipe in your house. Now think about a leaking pipe in the street, same problem.
The only difference is you’re keeping your community’s water supply running.
As a Water Operator, you’re regularly outdoors, you’re digging trenches, inspecting pipelines, and repairing broken water services.
You’re learning a collection of skills that can set you on your way to a technical, management or leadership role.
Your main concern is keeping the water supply network running, that’s finding and fixing faults on pipes and joints. It’s upgrading the water supply network and it’s understanding the end-to-end water cycle and how water networks help your local community.
What else will the role involve
- Participating in safe job planning, team meetings and workplace inspections
- Ensuring all work is undertaken with safety as the first priority where no injury is considered acceptable, and all activities are undertaken without compromising health and safety.
- Operate, maintain, monitor, and repair water and wastewater assets, operational sites, and public facilities as required.
- Participate in overtime and call out rosters as required.
Sounds good, what’s in it for me?
- Your full-time roster will consist of a 9-day fortnight, meaning every second week you will have a 3-day weekend (RDO) to enjoy doing the things you love.
- Flexibility and a supportive, family-friendly culture
- Leave loading of 17.5% on annual leave
- 2 Wellbeing days every 12 months of continuous service to attend to your mental health and wellbeing.
Discover more benefits we offer to support the unique and individual ways our employees live.
Key skills and experience
- Western Australian “C” Class and ‘HR’ Class Drivers Licence
- Experience in civil work and/or water supply and/or wastewater systems.
- Certificate III in National Water Package otherwise willing to undertake the traineeship.
