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.

Are you passionate about protecting and enhancing the natural environment, with an understanding of drainage management and ability to balance multiple management objectives?
This is your opportunity to join Melbourne Water as a Waterways & Land Officer in the Mornington Peninsula and Westernport Team.
In this role you will play a pivotal role in managing and improving Melbourne’s waterways, catchments, drainage and land. You will work on meaningful projects that make a real difference to the environment and the community, while ensuring our commitments to managing flood protection and drainage function in the Koo Wee Rup Area are maintained.
You’ll collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders, including local governments, community groups, and first nations’ groups, to deliver impactful programs and initiatives. If you have strong relationship-building skills, a proactive mindset, and a commitment to improving the environment, we want to hear from you!
This role is based at our South East Regional Office (Carrum).
