About the role

As a Conservation Officer - French Island, you will support the delivery of on-ground conservation programs across French Island, with a particular focus on the Feral Cat Eradication Program. You will undertake a mix of field and project support activities including camera monitoring and maintenance work, data collection and management, wildlife management, trap maintenance, pest animal and weed control and reporting.
