Western Australia's principal water, wastewater, and drainage utility operator
Water Corporation operates critical water infrastructure across 2.6 million square kilometres of Western Australia, serving hundreds of thousands of households, businesses, and farms. The technology stack is dominated by industrial control systems (PLC, SCADA) paired with SAP enterprise software—a typical pattern for asset-heavy utilities—while active hiring in engineering and operations suggests sustained focus on network maintenance and modernization. Internal pain points center on legacy system modernization and predictive maintenance, with emerging projects around AI-powered knowledge platforms indicating selective digital transformation.
Water Corporation is the statutory authority responsible for water supply, wastewater services, drainage infrastructure, and bulk irrigation water across Western Australia. Operating since January 1996 (following restructures of earlier state water agencies), the organization manages an asset base exceeding $37 billion and employs over 3,500 staff across seven regional offices. Revenue-generating operations are structured commercially, with surplus returned to the Western Australian Government as a dividend. The organization maintains its own capital works programs and manages service delivery to both urban and agricultural customers across one of the world's driest inhabited regions.
Core systems include PLC and SCADA for industrial control, SAP ERP for enterprise operations, SAP MM for maintenance management, and SAP SRM for supplier relationships. Office productivity and collaboration tools (Microsoft Office, Jira, Confluence) support internal teams.
