In this role, you will:

• Deliver the Operational and Annual Work Plans under the direction of the Ranger in Charge or 2IC.
• Operate and maintain plant and equipment, control pest plants and animals, and undertake planned burning and wildfire suppression.
• Maintain park infrastructure, manage small projects, and perform natural and cultural resource management duties.
• Provide on-ground supervision to field staff and work collaboratively with others.

Key Responsibilities:

• Communicate clearly and maintain a positive, supportive approach.
• Work effectively in a team, as a supervisor, and independently.
• Undertake estate development and protection duties, and compliance tasks.

• Support and promote the interests of First Nations people.

What We're Looking For:

• A strong personal work ethic, adaptability, and the ability to work collaboratively or independently.
• Practical experience in environmental management and asset maintenance.
• Formal qualifications in Conservation and Land Management, along with an ACDC licence and a General Construction Induction Training (White) card, are highly regarded but not mandatory.

This role requires accountability, environmental expertise, and a commitment to teamwork. If you have a positive attitude, enjoy working with others (and occasionally independently), and are passionate about preserving Queensland's natural landscapes, we encourage you to apply.

Shared accommodation may be negotiated for this position.
