About Us

Situated on the mid-north coast of NSW, just half an hour's drive south of Coffs Harbour, the Nambucca Valley boasts an idyllic natural environment with stunning beaches, pristine waterways and tranquil rainforests. The region's towns are vibrant, friendly country communities boasting modern and convenient services with plenty to see and do.

At Nambucca Valley Council, we strive for a culture where our team of around 160 employees feel valued and supported at work.

An understanding of the role of engineers within Local Government will help you navigate the unique challenges of the position, supported by your hands-on experience in water supply and sewerage operations.

You'll have a current Class C Driver's Licence, solid computer skills, and the confidence to communicate clearly with colleagues, contractors, and the community. A working knowledge on Work Health and Safety (WHS) legal requirements and Council policies will be essential.

Above all, we're seeking someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment, takes pride in practical problem-solving, and is motivated by delivering reliable, sustainable services to the community.
