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 yard 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.

Reporting to the Statutory Flood Development Assessments Area Manager, this is a pivotal role within the Statutory Flood Amendments & Engineering team. This role delivers experienced technical flood and drainage engineering advice, assistance and recommendations regarding the assessment of proposed developments referred to Melbourne Water in its Statutory Referral capacity.
The role will be required to assess and provide verbal and written assessments of all drainage hydraulic aspects, flood risk and make conditional recommendations on flood risk mitigation opportunities in accordance with State and Melbourne Water policies and procedures, guidelines and processes. This will include both the review of existing Melbourne Water or Developer submitted hydraulic models, or as required the creation or enhancement of new models from the perspective of assessing an application.
This full-time role is based from our 990 La Trobe street Docklands head office, we offer a hybrid working arrangement with 50% days in the office.
