Catchment Officer

A Catchment Officer performs a range of duties at a dam or water catchment operation. You might take water samples and conduct testing to check for issues such as blue-green algae outbreaks. Catchment Officers carry out inspections of dam facilities and perform necessary maintenance. You might also report any major issues and organise repairs.

Catchment Officers should have strong observational abilities and excellent attention to detail. You’ll need to be able to work as part of a team and be capable of physical activities. Catchment Officers must be safety focused and be able to follow correct procedures. It’s important that you can communicate well and provide accurate information when required.
