Western Australia's future is made by water. Help build what comes next.
For generations, water has helped shape Western Australia - supporting our communities, industries, environment and way of life.
Today, a drying climate, population growth and economic development are placing increasing pressure on our water resources, creating one of the most significant infrastructure, environmental and technological challenges of our time. Water Corporation is responding through major investment in climate-resilient infrastructure, innovative water sources and long-term solutions that will help secure Western Australia's water future.

At Water Corporation, you'll have the opportunity to deliver major projects, solve complex engineering challenges, plan for future growth, protect the environment and work with communities to create lasting benefits. From engineers and project managers to planners, environmental specialists and other specialist professionals, every role contributes to securing a sustainable and reliable water future for Western Australia.
Join a team where talented people work on projects of state significance, tackle some of the most important challenges of our time and help shape the future of Western Australia.

We’re the principal supplier of water, wastewater and drainage services in Western Australia to hundreds of thousands of homes, businesses and farms, as well as providing bulk water to farms for irrigation.
Our services, projects and activities span over 2.6 million square kilometres. We have regional offices in Perth, Bunbury, Albany, Karratha, Geraldton, Northam and Kalgoorlie which allow our employees to provide a high level of professional expertise to customers.
We have over 3,500 employees and manage an asset base of over $37 billion in water supply, wastewater, drainage infrastructure and bulk water for irrigation.
We’re owned by the Western Australian Government and are accountable to our sole shareholder, the Minister for Water, for delivery of our services in a commercial manner. Most of our surplus is returned to the government as a dividend to contribute to the development of the state, with the remainder reinvested in capital works.
Water Corporation was created in January 1996, in a restructure of the water industry in Western Australia. The Water Authority in turn had been created in 1985 through a merger of the former Metropolitan Water Authority, which operated in Perth, the state capital, and the water and wastewater operations of the former WA Public Works Department. We’re the seventh successive agency to deal with these services in Perth, Western Australia.
We're evolving...
Living on the world’s driest continent, the biggest challenge we face is reducing the impact of climate change.
It’s never been more important to work collaboratively with government, industry, and the community, to secure our water future and take care of our home state.
To support these efforts, our vision focuses on our operations having the lowest possible environmental impact, are safe for all, and are delivered at the lowest total cost.
