The Company

About Water Corporation

-With roots dating back to 1996, this state‑owned utility has evolved from the Water Authority into the backbone of WA’s water life. -Boasting projects like the new Victoria Dam (built 1990–91 using fly‑ash RCC) and Aboriginal community upgrades, its engineering legacy is vast. -Financed through customer revenue, most surplus funds are channeled back to the government or reinvested in projects. -Its asset footprint spans dams, desalination plants, groundwater networks and irrigation schemes like the Ord and Gascoyne. -Its operations span regional towns (from Karratha to Albany), underscoring its mission to keep WA’s communities flowing. -An unexpected highlight: its workforce embraces five‑year flexible leave cycles, letting staff recharge creatively.
