Water is essential for life. At Seqwater, we’re not just delivering water—we’re driving innovation, growth and transformation to secure the future of water across South East Queensland.

As one of the largest water businesses with the most geographically spread and diverse asset base of any capital city in Australia, our operations extend from the New South Wales border to the base of the Toowoomba ranges and north to Gympie.

As we enter an exciting period of expansion, we're embracing new technologies and sustainable practices to meet the growing needs of our region. We work collaboratively across our organisation and with our stakeholders, constantly striving to enhance the quality of service we provide. As we modernise our systems and invest in smarter water grids, we remain focused on delivering the highest standard of service, always with the future in mind.

Our transformation is about more than just infrastructure—it’s about people. Our team of dedicated professionals are united by a shared passion for creating lasting, meaningful outcomes for the communities we serve, and this is reflected in Our Vision, Water for Life, Our Promise - Safe for Life, and Our Values of integrity, respect, care, and courage that shape everything we do.

You’ll be working on some of the most high-profile water infrastructure projects in the industry, helping to secure Water for Life for generations to come.

  • Work with stakeholders to develop, implement and promote the organisation’s Estimating Standard and supporting information across the Infrastructure Planning and Capital Delivery program.
  • Provide expert advice to the Principal Program Controls, Program and Project Directors and Managers and the Leadership Team on total project and project stage estimates.

  • Significant successful project estimating experience within a major infrastructure project environment, preferably in a senior or lead role.
