Looking for a role where your technical skills can support your community?
This year, marks 100 years since we began treating the wastewater from sinks, toilets and drains at the Bendigo and Castlemaine Water Reclamation Plants.

To help us, we’re looking for a Senior Technical Operations Officer to join us on a 2-year fixed term basis as we embark on major upgrades at the Bendigo and Castlemaine plants.
