Know someone in water, wastewater, trade waste or compliance who is ready for more responsibility and influence?

We’re recruiting a Supervisor - Trade Waste & Backflow Prevention for a large regional NSW council.

This is much more than an inspection role. The successful candidate will help lead the region’s Trade Waste and Backflow Prevention programs - supervising staff, managing compliance and enforcement activity, working with commercial and industrial customers and helping improve outcomes across the water and wastewater network.

It could suit someone with experience in:

• Trade waste or backflow prevention
• Water and wastewater operations
• Regulatory compliance or inspections
• Industrial or commercial wastewater
• Technical team leadership

You don’t necessarily need 'Supervisor' in your current job title, but you will need strong industry knowledge and demonstrated experience leading, coaching or providing technical guidance to others.

This is an opportunity to move beyond day-to-day technical work and take greater ownership of program delivery, compliance, stakeholder relationships and continuous improvement.

📍 Albury, NSW
📅 Applications close 5pm on Friday 14 August 2026

**NSW employers: Are you ready for the July 2026 WHS changes?**

From 1 July 2026, approved WHS Codes of Practice become enforceable in NSW, including the Code of Practice for Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work.

While psychosocial risk obligations themselves are not new, the compliance landscape is changing. Employers will need to be able to demonstrate how they identify, assess and control psychosocial risks in the workplace, or show that an alternative approach achieves an equivalent or higher standard of health and safety.

Psychosocial hazards can include excessive workloads, poor workplace behaviours, role ambiguity, workplace conflict, fatigue, exposure to traumatic events and the impacts of organisational change.

Importantly, the focus is on addressing risks at their source through work design, systems and leadership practices – not simply relying on wellbeing initiatives or employee assistance programs.

Now is the time to review your workplace practices and ensure psychosocial risks are being managed with the same rigour as physical workplace hazards.

Need help understanding your obligations or reviewing your current approach? We'd be happy to help.

Workplace wellbeing isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's good business.

This week, our HR Business Partner Lucie Wallis was in Sydney with senior leaders at Warner Music, running a Wraw (Workplace Resilience and Wellbeing) workshop - and the conversation was a great reminder of why this work matters.

When your people are resilient, they handle change better, stay engaged, and keep performing even when things get hard. And when your people thrive, your business does too.

The Wraw Index helps organisations measure exactly that. It's a world-first tool that looks at how resilience affects wellbeing, performance and engagement and gives leaders real, practical data to act on. Through individual, team and leadership reports, you get a clear picture of where your people are at and what you can do about it.

We're proud to be one of the first Australian businesses accredited in Wraw and the only Master Practitioner in the country.

What's one thing your organisation does to support resilience at work? We'd love to hear.
