In collaboration with all stakeholders, you will be heavily involved in initiating exciting advancements of sector improvements, and in maintaining key capabilities such as Public Information and Warning Systems and the State Emergency Information Call Centre Capability. This role also involves engagement with relevant volunteer associations and unions.
