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 full time role is based from our Healesville Work Centre, and works across our Warburton, Healesville and Woori Yallock sites during the fire season. Reporting to the Program Lead Delivery you will be responsible for the safe operation of a tractor slasher for the execution of grass management activities in Melbourne Water’s Closed Catchments and Land assets.
We are looking for a highly experienced operator to work amongst our idyllic landscapes, occasionally independently, or as part of a small team. This role will suit those who are self-motivated and capable of independent decision making, whilst interacting with external organisations and the general public.
Experience and qualifications in forest firefighting are highly regarded, or the willingness to achieve these qualifications. Due to the nature of this pivotal role we do require candidates to reside permanently within 25 minutes driving time of Work Centre – Healesville, Woori Yallock or Warburton. Be available to go on a one-in-three week fire roster during the fire season requiring a 24hr a day recall to work. Please note that annual leave over the Summer fire period will be restricted
