Job description

Osborne Richardson is assisting the City of Moreton Bay in its search for two experienced Rangers to join its Local Laws team on a contract basis — frontline compliance professionals who can lead investigations and get results through education as much as enforcement.

This role suits someone who enjoys working with the community. You’ll build positive relationships with residents and businesses, use sound judgement and discretion in sensitive situations, and see matters through from first enquiry to brief of evidence.
