Trainee Operator Northam

This position is advertised under Section 51 of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984. We are seeking to increase the diversity of our workforce to better meet the differing needs of our customers and to improve equal opportunity outcomes for our employees. Aboriginal Australians are encouraged to apply.

Do you enjoy working outdoors?

Do you want to add a nationally recognised qualification to your CV? (Which we pay for)

Do you want a manager who will support you, guide you and mentor you?

You probably want to know what’s involved?

As a trainee, you’ll be regularly outdoors, working in the Northam area alongside supportive team members - people who have been with the company for years, so you will learn from some of the best in the industry.

You’ll be trained to maintain, repair and inspect many assets for the Water Corporation including pipes, chlorinators and services ensuring compliance with relevant business management processes and systems. You will also actively participate in safe job planning, team meetings and workplace inspections.

What’s in it for you?

You will enjoy a friendly work / life balance (work 9 days a fortnight), there are no FIFO shifts so you get home each night.

A traineeship offers you the opportunity to get paid while attaining a Certificate II in Water Industry Operations.

There are also opportunities to progress and develop your career, training and exposure to other roles at Water Corporation.

Mix in a supportive, family-friendly culture, a healthy starting salary, and a stack of fantastic benefits - and you will have just found yourself a career with Water Corporation

Are you eligible?

You will be doing some driving, so a WA C-class driver’s licence is essential (having a MR licence is desirable). If you’re local to Northam, enjoy being outside, have a strong awareness of safety and have a positive attitude to learn, we would love to hear from you.

No water experience? No problem. A passion for the outdoors and a desire to protect our precious drinking water sources is all you need. This is your opportunity to develop into a skilled operator and gain exposure to Western Australia’s water industry.
