About The Role

We are offering a great opportunity for an appropriately qualified and experienced individual to contribute to the regulation of plumbing and drainage installations in the Council area.

This is a varied role that combines field inspections, technical assessment, regulatory responsibilities and customer service, providing an opportunity to use your experience and knowledge to achieve positive outcomes for both the community and the environment.

Council will consider both part time and full time working arrangements, and will discuss preferred working arrangements with shortlisted candidates at interview stage.

To be successful you will bring

  • Behaviour that positively demonstrates Council's values of: creative, accessible, respect, energetic and safe.
  • Qualifications in Plumbing and Drainage or related field as required by the plumbing regulator.
  • Proven thorough knowledge of Australian Standard 3500, NSW Plumbing Code of Practice.
  • Demonstrated field experience as a plumbing and drainage tradesperson.
  • Demonstrated understanding of all plumbing and drainage installations including water, rainwaters, sewers, septic tanks, fire services and on site non-sewered wastewater management facilities.
  • Proven ability to understand and assess hydraulic details for compliance and relevant legislation.
  • Proven understanding of Building Sustainability Index (BASIX).

The rewards

  • A full time salary range of $87,600 to $111,600 per annum (plus 12% superannuation) dependent upon skills, experience and qualifications.
  • Flexible work arrangements to support your lifestyle, including a rostered day off working arrangement (9 day fortnight or 4 day week).
  • Support toward the cost of relocation associated with recruitment.
  • Job security and a supportive, values-driven workplace culture.
  • Health and wellbeing initiatives, including Fitness Passport member options.
  • Meaningful work that contributes to the sustainability and liveability of our region.
  • An inclusive culture where all our people are valued, EEO, diversity and differences are respected.
  • An absolute focus on our peoples’ safety and well being.
  • Learning and career development opportunities.
  • Generous Award workplace conditions.
