The Pilbara is a rewarding region to work in and offers opportunities for personal and career development for those that have the interest and desire to work within environmental management. The nature of work in the region is wide and varied and covers the Nature Conservation, Parks and Visitor Services and Environmental Regulation areas. For most employees the management of fire is also a component of their jobs, particularly during summer.
