SA Water has proudly been part of the South Australian landscape for over 150 years. We now employ about 1400 staff across the State in roles as diverse as chemical engineering, customer service, natural resource management, water quality research, construction and maintenance.

SA Water requires a diverse, professional workforce that includes a mix of age, gender and ethnicity, equipped to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing marketplace.

How does SA Water provide its employees with the best of both worlds?

While we are a government owned enterprise (which brings employment security and high governance standards), we also operate as a highly efficient, commercially chartered and leading edge organisation. We are always seeking innovative ways to improve the way we provide our essential services. South Australia faces many challenging water issues and we are at the forefront of development solutions to these.

We understand that one size doesn't fit all. Our employment offer can be tailored to meet individual requirements.

Our cultural change methodologies aim to encourage best practice in all facets of our operations and SA Water strives to promote excellence by recognising, rewarding and offering development opportunities to our employees.
