In this role, you'll provide high-quality administrative and operational support that helps the team effectively manage recruitment, onboarding, workforce engagement, supplier relationships and governance activities across the business.

About the Person

You're the kind of person who loves being where the action is.



A natural go-getter, you're proactive, resourceful and happiest when you're rolling up your sleeves and making things happen. You don't wait to be told what to do. Instead, you spot opportunities, solve problems and keep things moving, even when priorities change or the path forward isn't crystal clear.

You're comfortable working in a fast-paced workplace where there can be ambiguity, and you bring a calm, practical approach to navigating it. Just as importantly, you're a people person who can build rapport with anyone, whether that's a Senior Manager, a new starter, a contractor or an external supplier.

If you enjoy variety, thrive on staying organised, and get genuine satisfaction from being the person others rely on to get things done, you'll fit right in.

As well as safely delivering smart and reliable services for our customers of today, we innovate to shape the water solutions of the future that will support thriving economies and healthy communities.

We are driven by our values; we value our people, we do work that matters, we keep it real, we know that our work has impact and we are future focussed. Staying true to our values ensures that we consistently deliver positive outcomes for all South Australians.
