You are organised, self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision, while also contributing positively to a multidisciplinary team.

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• The ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, particularly when dealing with challenging or potentially confrontational situations.
• A strong customer service focus and a commitment to delivering quality service outcomes.
• The ability to apply legislation, policies and procedures fairly and consistently.
• Sound judgement, initiative and the ability to work independently while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.
• A flexible approach to work, including participation in a rotating roster, weekend and on-call duties, public holidays and providing relief to other Rangers when required.

You take pride in representing Council and are committed to making a positive difference to the community through professional, fair and consistent parking compliance.
