About us Think Water Melbourne (Planned Irrigation Projects Pty Ltd) has been Victoria's leading commercial irrigation contractor since 1983. We design and install irrigation for golf courses, sports grounds, racetracks, wineries, parks and public spaces.

The work

You'll join a crew of skilled installers, backed by our design and project management team, and report to the Project Manager. Most of our work is across Melbourne, with the occasional regional and interstate project.

You'll work as part of a small-team delivering projects, like a golf course, from start to finish. No two projects are the same and your next might be with a different team building a park in the Brighton or a winery in the Yarra Valley. Along the way you'll work with big pipe, pumps, bores, recycled water and control systems.

What you'll be doing

- Installing PVC and poly pipework (20–300mm+) and fittings
- Installing and testing decoders, wiring and central control systems




- Installing and adjusting sprinklers, valves, pumps and filters
- Trenching and working with and around machinery
- Troubleshooting and fault-finding irrigation systems
- Leading a crew or working as part of one

Where you can go

- A clear pathway to leading hand
- We'll put you through the tickets you need for the job e.g. excavator ticket
- We'll support you toward your irrigation license
- You'll learn from some of the most experienced installers in the industry

Who we're looking for We hire on three things:

1. Pride in work. You work to a high standard because it matters to you, not because someone's checking.
2. Drive. You treat your time and other people's time as valuable. You get moving without waiting to be told.
3. Trade-minded. You pick up hands-on skills fast and troubleshoot on the fly.

Ideally you'll have 2+ years of irrigation experience, but if you've got the right attitude and some irrigation background from landscaping, apply anyway.

What you'll need

- Right to work in Australia
- Current Victorian driver's licence
- White Card
- An irrigation or plumbing rego and excavator ticket are a bonus, not a must. We can help you get both.
