Experience in land management, forestry, parks, agriculture, emergency management or a related operational field will be highly regarded.

Why join us?

Meaningful work with a direct impact on Victorian communities and the environment.
A diverse mix of field leadership, land management and emergency response.
Opportunities to develop specialist skills and gain recognised operational accreditations.
A supportive team culture built on safety, teamwork and continuous improvement.

Specialist/Technical Expertise/Qualifications

Demonstrated knowledge or experience and understanding in leading field work delivery teams is highly desirable.
Demonstrated knowledge or experience and understanding in natural resource management, preferably with good knowledge of forest management/forest operations.
