Company description

At WaterNSW we are custodians of the state's water, a vital natural resource. It is our responsibility to capture, store and deliver water, when and where it matters.

We operate the state's dams like Warragamba Dam in Greater Sydney and Burrendong Dam in regional NSW, using our knowledge of nature, science and engineering. We then supply that water ready for distribution - for the environment, agriculture, industry and the community.

With 41 major dams and hundreds of waterways across the state, we play a vital role at the source of the state's water, delivering two thirds of all water used in NSW. The water we supply supports more than 8 million people across NSW - it is used by regional towns, farmers, the environment and customers, like Sydney Water.

Every day we operate our assets and manage water responsibly to meet the needs of our customers and communities now, and into the future.

We warmly invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to join WaterNSW and help care for Country.

At WaterNSW, we recognise that water is deeply connected to culture, community, and Country. We value the knowledge, perspectives, and lived experiences of First Nations peoples and are committed to building a workplace where you feel respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Whether you're just starting your career or bringing years of experience, we'd love to connect with you about opportunities across our organisation.

We're proud to offer a supportive, flexible, and inclusive workplace where you can grow your career while making a positive impact in your community.
