Achieve Something Great
Join a highly supportive and experienced Environmental Health team, working alongside public health professionals and collaborating with local government, NSW Health, and other government agencies to deliver meaningful public health outcomes.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of communities across South Western Sydney. You will respond to a diverse range of environmental health issues, including drinking water quality, recreational water safety, public swimming pools, cooling water systems, housing conditions, air quality, mosquito-borne diseases, lead exposure, and environmental incidents.
Through varied fieldwork, investigations, emergency responses, project work, and involvement in state-wide environmental health initiatives, you will further develop your professional skills while contributing to the protection and improvement of community health.
Are You the Right Fit?
We are seeking a motivated and dedicated Environmental Health professional who is passionate about protecting and improving public health and enjoys working across a broad range of environmental health disciplines. You will have strong technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess environmental health risks, interpret relevant legislation, and apply evidence-based solutions to complex issues.
You are highly organised, adaptable, and able to effectively manage competing priorities while responding to emerging public health incidents and time-critical investigations. You demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and professional development and hold a recognised qualification in Environmental Health, are eligible for membership with Environmental Health Australia, and possess a current Australian driver's licence. You are also willing to participate in an after-hours on-call roster and occasionally work outside standard business hours to support critical public health responses.
