You can apply to work with us as an accredited consultant or contractor.
Accreditation is only required for contractors and consultants to be directly engaged by Greater Western Water (GWW). All contractors and consultants required to perform services at a GWW-owned site must have completed our accreditation process.
Sub-contractors do not have to complete GWW’s accreditation process but they do need to complete our induction process.
