LET’S TELL YOU MORE

 

 

 

We’re looking for a dedicated Ancillary Technician to help maintain and improve our underground water distribution network. In this hands-on role, you’ll be responsible for servicing pressure control valves, managing flow and disinfection, and supporting the delivery of clean water to our customers.

 

 

 

You’ll investigate and resolve pressure-related issues, carry out meter repairs, and collaborate with internal teams and contractors to ensure efficient operations. The role also involves responding to customer concerns on-site, conducting risk assessments, and ensuring all work complies with health, safety, and regulatory standards. If you’re committed to delivering excellent service, solving problems, and making a real impact on essential infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.

We are seeking someone with excellent communication and customer service skills who has the capability of explaining complex technical issues simply and interacting effectively with customers face-to-face. Being able to demonstrate an adaptable attitude, strong problem-solving abilities, sound decision-making, and accuracy in data recording will be essential. The ideal candidate is also self-motivated, able to work independently or as part of a team, and is skilled at prioritising their workload effectively.

 

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too.  We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
