• Conduct field inspections and quality assurance activities
• Work collaboratively with Operations, HSEQ and HR to continuously improve systems and performance
• Support employee development, performance management and training
• Identify opportunities to improve infrastructure, maintenance practices and service delivery
• Participate in an after-hours support roster when required

About You
You’ll be someone who enjoys leading from the front and thrives in a dynamic environment.

You’ll bring:

• Certificate III in Plumbing, holding WA Plumbing Tradesperson’s Licence (essential)
• Demonstrated experience supervising plumbing or essential services teams
• Knowledge of water and wastewater utility infrastructure, including network, pumping, storage and treatment-related assets.
• Experience planning and coordinating maintenance activities
• Excellent leadership and communication skills
• Strong commitment to safety, compliance and continuous improvement
• Ability to manage competing priorities and work autonomously
• Current C Class Driver’s Licence (HR licence advantageous)

We offer:

• Competitive salary package
• Fully maintained Toyota Hilux (or similar) with reasonable personal use within the Kimberley
• Tax-free remote overnight allowance of $100 per night when travelling for work
• Opportunity to work across some of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes
• Supportive leadership team
• Ongoing professional development
• Meaningful work that makes a genuine difference to remote communities
