Job description

Join to apply for the Project Manager role at Melbourne Water

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 Area Lead - Program Delivery, this full time role is based from our Brooklyn Pumping Station. As the Project Manager you will be responsible for delivering multiple civil projects across the minor capital team.

Due to the vast travel across the Werribee region required for the role, an operational vehicle will be provided in line with Melbourne Water’s Motor Vehicle policy.
