Assist in delivering environmental project services across the Defence estate, supporting contractual and client outcomes.
Prepare and implement Environmental Management Plans, audits and reporting in line with legal, Defence and contractual requirements.
Support programs including bushfire risk reduction, weed control, pest management, sustainability initiatives and environmental improvement projects.
