About the role

This is a hands-on role working across the Coffs Coast to keep our wastewater system running smoothly. You'll be out on the ground carrying out investigations, maintenance, repairs and minor construction works on sewer infrastructure.

From responding to chokes and call-outs, to planning and running CCTV inspections, you'll be actively involved in fault finding, repairs and improving network performance. You'll be doing a bit of everything. You'll also help organise jobs, guide contractors and make sure work is done safely, on time and to a high standard.

You'll be part of a supportive team that takes pride in their work and in delivering a reliable service to the community.

Please refer to the Position Description for a more detailed understanding of the role.

You've got the right tickets (or most of them), can operate machinery and tools, and you're a team player who's willing to step up, take the lead when needed and get the job done properly.

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary from around $67K - $70K (depending on your capabilities and experience) + allowances + 12% superannuation
• Permanent Full Time 38 hours per week
• Flex time, flexible work arrangements and generous leave entitlements!
• Numerous benefits as outlined here!
