Do you want to work to make a difference for NSW?
Working to protect the state's environment and heritage.
Join a highly committed and motivated team supporting the delivery of the critical Fire Access and Fire Trail capital upgrade and management program.
About the roles
Two full-time roles available.
NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service owns and manages around 40,000 kilometres of roads and trails across more than 890 reserves and 90% of fire-prone land in NSW. Fire trails are critical for fire suppression and hazard reduction work but also provide essential access for conservation programs, heritage appreciation, visitor experience and connection of remote communities. The priority focus of the Road and Fire Trail (RFT) Network Program is centred on the Fire Access and Fire Trail (FAFT) process. This is a strategic program that ensures fire trail standards in NSW are implemented, maintained and reported.
These roles offer variety and the opportunity to become a subject matter expert in our Fire Access Fire Trails capital upgrade program. This will include site inspections, collection of field data, development of scopes of work, environmental assessments such as Reviews of Environmental Factors (REFs), Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessments (ACHAs), procurement and contract management, stakeholder management, site inductions, quality assurance, project close out and evaluation.
About you
You'll be a natural at communicating well in-person, and on-screen, both verbally and in writing. The roles require the ability to provide guidance and support and good judgement for when to escalate project risks. Ideally you will have relevant experienced gained from a similar role.
