- In collaboration with the Operational Capability Coordinator, assist brigades with planning, procuring, operationalising, maintaining and disposing of catalogue and non-catalogue equipment items.
- Support the execution of fleet and station maintenance plans (ensuring assets are available for planned maintenance and disposal); and assisting with managing unplanned maintenance activities (including coordination of repair quotes, coordination of replacement vehicles, and assisting with insurance claims).
- Attend Rural Fire Brigade and/or Group meetings to provide timely updates, expert advice, assist with early resolution of issues, and support brigade governance requirements.
