As a Resource Ranger (OO5), you will play a key role in supporting regional work programs across the Dry Tropics, working closely with Senior Rangers, technical specialists and field teams. This is a dynamic position that blends project delivery, fieldwork and team leadership, suited to a ranger with strong technical capability and the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively.
You will contribute to the planning and delivery of programs focused on threatened species, fire and pest management, and park management planning. This includes supervising small work groups, coordinating tasks, and delivering on-ground outcomes such as infrastructure maintenance, fire operations, weed and pest control and monitoring programs.
The role requires strong organisational and administrative skills, including maintaining records, contributing to reporting, and supporting procurement and resource management processes. You will also undertake compliance, customer engagement and patrol activities, providing advice, education and enforcement where required.
Working across a regional network, you will build and maintain relationships with Traditional Owners, neighbouring landholders, government agencies and community stakeholders. You will also assist in emergency response activities, including wildfire, natural disasters and search and rescue operations.
Success in this role requires practical field skills, sound knowledge of natural resource management (or the ability to rapidly develop this knowledge), and the ability to apply judgement in dynamic environments. You will be adaptable, self motivated and capable of working in remote and sometimes challenging conditions, while contributing positively to team outcomes and a safe, inclusive workplace culture.
This role is ideal for a capable ranger ready to broaden their experience, take on greater responsibility, and contribute to meaningful conservation outcomes across a diverse and rewarding landscape.
