Are you looking for a role where every day brings new challenges, where you will work on unique regional water schemes, and where your ability to influence senior stakeholders genuinely shapes outcomes for communities? If so, this opportunity is ideal for you. With the flexibility to be based in either Karratha or Perth, you can choose the location that best suits your lifestyle and career goals.
As a Customer Engagement Specialist, you will play a central role in supporting major change initiatives across Regional WA.

Externally, you’ll work with high‑profile customers, community groups, peak bodies, and other stakeholders to ensure strong relationships are built and maintained.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys variety, problem‑solving, and meaningful engagement. You’ll help identify emerging issues, resolve problems early, and ensure business processes keep running efficiently, especially in regional settings where customer relationships, trust, and clear communication are essential.
Alongside this, you’ll represent the organisation in important discussions, contribute to strategic planning, and advocate for customer needs to help shape better outcomes across the state.
If you’re passionate about working with people, improving customer experience, supporting community outcomes, and influencing senior stakeholders, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a real impact.
