Summary

Play a key role in shaping environmental outcomes across one of Australia's most complex and nationally significant operational environments.

The Organisation

Airservices Australia is a government-owned organisation responsible for the safe and efficient management of 11% of the world's airspace and provision of aviation rescue fire fighting services at Australia's busiest airports.

Our people are our greatest asset, with a dynamic and diverse team operating from locations across the country, from bustling cities to regional and remote locations. Together, we help secure the future of Australia's skies and maintain one of the safest aviation systems in the world.

We connect people with their world safely, linking family and friends, generating economic activity, creating jobs, and facilitating trade and tourism.

At Airservices, you'll join a values-driven organisation where people are encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work, challenge the status quo and contribute to meaningful outcomes that have a lasting impact.

You’re someone who enjoys solving complex problems, building strong stakeholder relationships and making a tangible impact. You can translate technical information into practical advice and thrive in environments where collaboration, curiosity and continuous improvement are valued.

The successful applicant will have:

• Demonstrated experience supporting environmental management systems, environmental compliance or environmental projects.
• Experience partnering with diverse stakeholders to deliver environmental outcomes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret and communicate technical information.
• Excellent organisation and project coordination capabilities with strong attention to detail.

At Airservices Australia, we embrace and thrive on diversity of thought, perspectives and capabilities because we know the benefits of having a workforce that is representative of the community that we serve.
