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 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.

This eighteen month fixed term contract is based from our North East Regional Office in Croydon. Reporting to the Head of Waterway & Catchment Services South East, this is a pivotal role within the Water Resources & Upper Yarra team.

As the  Manager Water Resources & Upper Yarra, you will be responsible for ensuring the safe, effective, and efficient delivery of Melbourne Water waterway and catchment obligations, programs, and services in the defined geographical area.

Our people are fuelled by passion, and with safety at the forefront, we have an unwavering sense of purpose, and are on a mission to protect every Melburnian’s way of life, one drop at a time.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working – but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do. We're dedicated to doing what's right, and this commitment extends to the meaningful work we do in a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages you to make the most of your talents.
