Project Information
The ACCIONA-led consortium known as the Alkimos SeaWater Alliance will design, build, operate and maintain the future Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant in Perth for ten years. The Stage 1 design and construct project is scheduled to deliver drinking water in 2028, as part of an overall Water Corporation program of works valued at AU$2.8 billion
Alkimos Water Precinct - will help the region manage the combination of declining rainfall and population growth. Since 1970, winter rainfall in southwest Western Australia has decreased by about 20 per cent while Perth’s population - currently 2.12 million - is expected to reach 2.9 million by 2031 and 3.5 million by 2050, making it Australia’s third largest city and significantly increasing the demand for drinking water.
We're excited to be building this critical piece of infrastructure, and to supply 50 billion litres of climate-resilient drinking water to the region.
The Position
Own all electrical, controls and instrumentation (EC&I) work on site, from installation through to testing, commissioning and handover. You will lead EC&I crews, hold subcontractors to ACCIONA requirements and make the calls that keep work safe, on program and on budget.
You will work closely with project managers, engineers and commissioning teams. Resolve technical problems as they arise and guide your team with clear direction. Bring your PLC, SCADA and DCS knowledge to a major Western Australian water asset, and build your supervision profile on a project of real scale.
