How do we attract and build the workforce Australia's water sector will need for the decades ahead? That question sat at the centre of last week's Careers in Water Planning Day, hosted at the Australian Water Association's Sydney offices, a room that brought together water authorities, government, councils, universities and industry leaders, all working toward the same goal; a sector with the people it needs to thrive, now and long into the future. As a Founding Partner of AWA's Careers in Water program, Pensar was proud to have a seat at that table. Jane Death joined the conversation on industry attraction, advocacy, and the initiatives that will keep this program, and the pipeline it builds, sustainable for years to come.
It's a conversation Pensar feels strongly about. As a contractor delivering critical water infrastructure, we see first-hand that the people who design, build and deliver these projects shape the sector's future as much as those who operate it. Being part of Careers in Water gives us the chance to contribute beyond the projects we deliver, and to help strengthen the talent pipeline our entire industry depends on.
