"South East Water has a great community culture, from giving appeals and a grants program, to incident response support and community repped committees. It’s a culture that’s fostered by the organisation so its people can better know and support the communities they serve.
For many people (including me) cause and community are important drivers in deciding where to work. It comes down to ‘care’ – a word that’s strong in both our vision and our values.”
Paige-Elise Galloway Community Manager
“I’ve been at South East Water for over 23 years. During my time, I’ve experienced 18 different roles, and led large teams of experts to deliver our strategic priorities.
Moving through various roles has provided so many interesting opportunities to leverage emerging technologies and work alongside brilliant people to deliver great customer outcomes. We’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and reimagine the future. The opportunities have been endless!”
Prerna Ramamurthy Group Manager Operations
"South East Water’s Graduate Program has been an incredible experience to begin my professional career in IT. I have been given the opportunity to rotate around to different teams each year, which means I can get a better idea of what areas I want to work in the future.
Through the Professional Development program, I get to network with Graduates from other water organisations and develop my professional and social skills further."
Lewis Brewster Information Technology Graduate
