Great Barrier Reef Water Quality Manager

About the role

The Great Barrier Reef is under increasing pressure from climate change, poor water quality and unsustainable commercial fishing. After climate change, water pollution from agricultural runoff is the most serious threat to the future of the Reef.

The Reef's capacity to endure and recover from the impacts of climate change will be enhanced by reducing water pollutant loads such as sediment, nutrients and pesticides.


As the Great Barrier Reef Water Quality Manager, you will lead the development and implementation of our campaign and programs to protect the Reef, and improve its resilience in the face of climate change, by improving water quality, conserving and restoring coastal and marine ecosystems and sequestering carbon.

You will work closely with the AMCS Great Barrier Reef and Fisheries teams, partner organisations, stakeholders and government to deliver environmental and sustainability improvements with an emphasis on key sub-catchments in the Reef.

For more information on AMCS' Water Quality and Water Pollution campaign see here.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Develop and lead the implementation of the AMCS' work to improve Great Barrier Reef water quality.

  • Lead on advocacy for policy reforms, increased transparency and investment, legislative enforcement, and establishing coastal ecosystem restoration as a key new policy to drive water quality improvements.
  • Write submissions to government on matters relating to Reef water quality and represent AMCS in relevant Reef water quality stakeholder forums (meetings, working groups, etc.).
  • Deliver communications that support environmental, economic, social and cultural objectives, including working in collaboration with the AMCS Communications team.
  • Commission and manage research reports and shortterm consultancies.
  • Represent AMCS in the media on Reef water quality issues.
What you'll need to be successful in this role

Essential Selection Criteria:

  • At least three years experience with catchment, coastal and/or marine issues.
  • Proven knowledge and contacts in the fields of water quality, ecosystem services and/or carbon sequestration. This includes experience working with and engaging with different stakeholders, including farmers, scientists, First Nations People and governments.
  • Demonstrated ability to engage with technical details and deal with complex problemsolving.
  • An understanding of Queensland and federal politics, and an awareness of Great Barrier Reefrelated legislation/policy.
  • The ability to develop, plan and implement work plans and projects, including the ability to prioritise competing demands.
