Business and Employment Opportunities

Northern Water is expected to support over 4,000 jobs each year during construction and generate flow-on benefits to local and state economies.

There are several ways you can connect with, and provide goods and services to, the Northern Water Project - as outlined below.

Subcontractor opportunities

  1. Register with the Industry Capabilities Network (all suppliers are required to be registered on this platform).
  2. Regional South Australian businesses can also connect with Tactic, who are working with Northern Water and with proponents during the tender phase to support the use of local businesses in delivering the Project.
    Tactic is a member-driven organisation that helps connect local supplier capability with major project proponents, supporting successful outcomes through supply chain integrity.

Direct supply of goods and services

Opportunities to supply goods and services directly to Northern Water will be listed on SA Tenders and Contracts.

The procurement process for the primary Project delivery contract has commenced. An update was provided on SA Tenders and Contracts following the release of the Registration of Expression of Interest (REOI).

Employment opportunities

Employment opportunities to work directly for Northern Water, when available, are advertised on I WORK FOR SA.

Most employment opportunities associated with the Project will be provided by the successful delivery contractor.
