Your Neighbours, Your Water Team
At Veolia, we know that protecting Queenstown's water means protecting our home. Our local team is made up of people who have chosen to lay their hats down in this beautiful district. We are dedicated to providing reliable, invisible service while safeguarding our pristine lakes and rivers for our own families and the entire community.
"Spending every day with committed, like-minded people focussed on doing their best to serve the community is an extremely rewarding experience."
Jek Rozitis, Digital Optimisation Lead
The Local Hero
From serving a single household to managing a network for 30,000 households, our team takes the responsibility of water stewardship personally. We share the same trails, lakes, and ratepayer concerns as you.
“What makes it feel so close to home to me is that it's my neighbours, it's my friends and family that are drinking the water, and it's my kids that are jumping in the lake every day after school.”
Liz Franks, Consents & Compliance Officer
Meet Your Queenstown's Water Team
Delivering clean water and managing wastewater across a massive area—stretching from central Queenstown all the way to Glenorchy, Kingston, and Arrowtown - requires 24/7 dedication and proactive innovation. We leverage both our deep local knowledge and Veolia's global expertise to tackle complex challenges and keep the network running smoothly.
“I think it's a measure of our success when the community doesn't have to worry about water, they turn on the tap and it's there.”
Jek Rozitis, Digital Optimisation Lead
Partnering for the Trails We Share
Our commitment to the community goes beyond the pipes. Like many Queenstown locals, our team loves to wind down the day by throwing the bikes in the back of the ute and hitting the mountain. That’s why Veolia is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the QMTBC, actively supporting the maintenance and development of the trails we all share.
Supporting the Future Generation
We aren't just maintaining infrastructure; we are investing in the next generation. From upskilling school leavers to supporting our operators in gaining advanced engineering certificates, we are building long-term, genuine career pathways right here in Queenstown.
“My family from generations ago were not too far away from here... they were up there chasing gold... now, three generations later... it's a great sense of pride that we can provide this safe drinking water.”
Craig Mays, Water Treatment Supervisor
Embracing the Veolia Culture
Our Queenstown team write just one chapter in a wider Veolia story. Across New Zealand, Veolia teams are made up of locals who care deeply about their communities - people who live, work, and play in the places they serve, bringing the same passion and expertise to every tap, every day.
