Your work makes a visible difference every day. You help reduce illegal dumping, improve public spaces and create cleaner, more liveable neighbourhoods across Blacktown City. This role suits someone who enjoys a mix of investigation, compliance, community engagement and project work, with time spent both outdoors and in the office.
