Are you looking for an innovative regulatory career in a professional environment? Conducting site inspections and not sitting behind a desk every day? Do you have a passion for Great Barrier Reef water quality and ecologically sustainable agriculture?

Who are we looking for?

Our team engages with farmers across the Great Barrier Reef catchments, ensuring that minimum practice standards are implemented to reduce the run-off of sediment and nutrients into the Reef's waters. We collaborate with industry stakeholders to encourage the voluntary uptake of better agricultural practices, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Every day presents new and diverse challenges in this role, where you'll collaborate with individuals involved in various agricultural sectors in the community. You'll be actively conducting on-site regulatory inspections at farming locations with guidance from experienced colleagues, with time in the office to consider additional information and decide on regulatory actions. With the backing of our seasoned team members, you'll hone your judgment to make autonomous decisions based on your inspections. The work you perform is integral to addressing environmental challenges associated with agricultural practices within your region.
