To enable this growth in an integrated and sustainable way, Sydney Water will invest $34 billion over the next 10 years to renew existing assets, deliver new investments in water supply, recycled water, stormwater and waterway management and renewable sources of energy.

You will demonstrate the credibility to add value, build capability and continue to build your skill and experience set.
