Be part of something bigger

There has never been a more exciting time to work at Seqwater.

We know we can't rely on rain to fall when and where we need it, and as climate change continues to impact our region we're planning for SEQ’s water security future and exploring climate-independent water security opportunities. This, together with major dam improvement upgrades at our largest dams Wivenhoe, North Pine and Somerset, will see us deliver the largest capital program in our organisation’s history over the next 10 years.

We have clear goals to play our part in reducing the effects of climate change, reaching net zero emissions by 2050 which will require innovation and dedication across all areas of our business. We’ll even have a part to play in supporting the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games – with Lake Wyaralong to host the rowing and canoeing events.
