Wollongong, Australia NSW Government -NSW State Emergency Service Full time

**Assistant Project Officer, Clerk Grade 5/6, Wollongong**
- An exciting opportunity exists to join a dynamic and energetic team delivering a variety of functions supporting a NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Fleet and Technology Project.
- Work in volunteer-based agency supporting communities of NSW.
- Full time temporary opportunity until 30 June 2025.
- Wollongong location with some flexible work available (hybrid).

**About the opportunity**

The state-of-the-art Vehicle as a Node (VaaN) technology has been installed on more than 200 emergency vehicles by NSW SES, switching between mobile broadband, public safety networks, and satellite connectivity. This technology enhances communication capabilities, particularly in 'black spots' with limited coverage, improving voice clarity, and connectivity during emergency responses.

The Assistant Project Officer (APO) role is crucial in supporting the wrap-up of the VaaN technology project and acts as the vital link between the Project Team and the Fleet Team. Beyond the project's completion, the role becomes pivotal in ensuring a well-documented and smooth transition from the Project Team to Fleet Team management, focusing on supporting VaaN operations, maintenance, and efficient delivery.

**About the NSW SES**

Our Mission: NSW SES saving lives and creating safer communities.

Our Vision: A trusted volunteer-based emergency service, working together to deliver excellence in community preparedness and emergency response.

In addition to flood, storm and tsunami, our Service provides specialist capabilities that include general land rescue, vertical rescue, road crash rescue, and alpine and remote area search and rescue. The NSW SES responded to over 64,000 requests for assistance from the community over the 2021-22 year.

The NSW SES has over 10,000 volunteer members, including reserves, and a
full-time equivalent workforce of over 450. There are 262 volunteer Units across the State and our volunteer Units are either local, community-based Units, State-wide or regional Units established to provide specialist capabilities. They are varied and unique in their capabilities, designed to address specific risks to communities of NSW.
