WaterNSW

With 41 dams and hundreds of waterways across the state, WaterNSW plays a vital role at the source of the state’s water, delivering two thirds of all water used in NSW.  WaterNSW operates the state’s dams, capturing and storing water, and then supplying it ready for distribution – for the environment, agriculture, industry and the community. WaterNSW is a proud custodian of a vital natural resource and is driven to use its knowledge, passion and expertise to manage water responsibly to support the resilience of NSW for generations to come.

 

 

 

Products and Services: The water supplied by WaterNSW is used by more than 8 million people across NSW. Their customers range from small family businesses to farmers, irrigators, councils, utilities, industry and the environmental water holders like the State and Australian Governments who use water to protect ecosystems and keep rivers flowing. WaterNSW builds, maintains and operates essential infrastructure and provides customer support for water licensing and approvals, trades and billing.

 

Employment Opportunities: WaterNSW offers a diverse range of job opportunities, including roles in engineering, environmental science, project management, customer service, and administration. They seek passionate individuals who are committed to making a positive impact on the environment and community. With a focus on professional growth, WaterNSW provides employees with training, career development opportunities, and a supportive work environment.

 

Commitment to First Nation People:   WaterNSW actively encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to join their team, offering a culturally supportive workplace where diversity is celebrated and Indigenous voices are valued in decision-making processes.  They are proud to have made their first public commitment to better engage and build relationships with First Nations communities across the state through the development of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), launched in March 2022.  The WaterNSW RAP demonstrates their great appreciation for the knowledge and connection that First Nations people have with water and land, and their commitment to building, supporting and strengthening their partnerships with First Nations people across their operations.
