• Is a proactive and inquisitive problem solver who enjoys tackling challenges.
• Possesses a collaborative mindset and thrives in a team environment.
• Has experience with SAP ISU/CRM and/or property administration for a utility or government organisation (preferred, but not essential).

Training & Development

You’ll also have the opportunity to rotate through various areas within our business to build a broader understanding of Sydney Water's operations. We believe in fostering an environment where learning is encouraged, and no question is too small. You’ll have the support of both your peers and management as you develop in your new role.
