Perth NRM is a highly regarded for-purpose organisation in the natural resources management (NRM) sector. We collaborate with governments (federal, state and local), community, academics and the corporate sector to deliver solutions to environmental issues. Our purpose is to empower people to positive ecological impact. We do this through coordination and support of agriculture, coastal and landcare programs.

The Coastal and Marine Program Coordinator connects community, schools and businesses with the planning and delivery of on-ground projects that help to protect and regenerate dune and coastal ecosystems. Key to the Program Coordinator’s success is working closely with the Cities of Rockingham, Kwinana, Cockburn, Fremantle and the Town of Cottesloe, and the local coast care groups.

• Excellent relationship building skills including the ability to gain the cooperation of others and work constructively as a team.
