  • Deliver baiting sessions as part of Council's 1080 regional baiting program for the control of wild dogs, in accordance with the Queensland Health legislation.
  • Utilise approved biological control agents and fumigants, monitor their effectiveness and assess their impact on target species.
This role requires the participation in council's "After Hours On-Call Roster" and some additional programmed overtime.

About you
You will have excellent attention to detail with an ability to identify and manage risks in the operating environment. You will have detailed knowledge of firearm safety and be able to demonstrate humane destruction of invasive animals. You will have good computer skills to input data, mapping and deliver power point presentations of programmed works.


You will need to be able to quickly develop and maintain a working knowledge of the legislative requirements and demonstrate a high level of animal welfare standards in vertebrate pest management.

Additionally, you will have.

  • Ability to be issued a Handling and distribution of S7 poisons endorsement via Queensland Health (upon commencement with City of Moreton Bay).
