Job Description

Who are we?

We’re here to help people live well and create a better and more sustainable future. We support healthy and liveable communities by delivering water, sewerage and recycled water services to 1.77 million people who rely on us every day and every night.

At South East Water, we innovate with purpose and act with care to deliver healthy water for life. Fresh thinking and collaboration are at the heart of our organisation. We are constantly learning, embracing the challenges of today and excited by the opportunities that tomorrow will bring.

The role

Step into a fast‑paced cyber role where your curiosity and analytical talent take centre stage. As our Vulnerability Assessor, you’ll explore complex IT, OT and cloud environments to uncover security weaknesses and help drive smarter decision‑making across the business. You’ll partner closely with security, technology and development teams to validate findings, guide prioritisation and keep our organisation informed about emerging threats.

This is a role for someone who loves diving into detail, solving real technical challenges, and staying one step ahead of the threat landscape.

Who are you?

In order to be considered for this role, candidates will require the following key skills, knowledge and experience:

  • 3+ years’ experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing or security analysis, using tools such as Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7, Armis or CrowdStrike.
  • Strong understanding of key security concepts and frameworks, including OWASP Top 10, CVSS, NIST, CIS or MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Experience assessing cloud and container environments, with the ability to clearly interpret and communicate technical findings.
  • Scripting experience (Python, PowerShell or Bash) to support automation and enhance assessment processes.
  • A relevant degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science or similar — and ideally industry certifications such as OSCP, CEH, GPEN or CISSP.
  • Exceptional problem solving skills and initiative.

What's in it for you?

Working at South East Water means you can enjoy a wealth of benefits, starting with the chance to be part of an organisation deeply committed to environmental initiatives and sustainability; one who has been recognised as one of the top 101 Workplaces for Women in Australia by Work180 for the past two consecutive years and a 2026 Finalist in the Work180 Equitable Workplace Awards ‘Flexible Working’ category.

South East Water cultivates a dynamic culture that emphasises collaboration and strong work ethics, supported by career-focused learning and development opportunities.

As a SEW employee, you can enjoy the following offerings from our benefits package:

  • Access to My Fitness Passport, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), annual flu shots, and health checks.
  • Work-life balance with flexible working arrangements, including hybrid work options and leave purchasing.
  • Additional leave offerings, such as cultural and ceremonial leave and study leave.
  • Head office with modern facilities and panoramic beachfront views, a separate parents' room, a prayer and meditation room and an onsite cafe.
  • Limited free onsite and offsite car parking available, as well as pay-as-you-go parking options nearby.
  • Opportunity to be part of great initiatives involving the local community.

This role is remunerated at a Level 5 , which is between $115,748 and $122,323 + super and offers are commensurate with the successful candidates' experience.
