Fire Management Officer | Full-time Permanent
4 days ago
Details: The City and Environment Directorate (CED) brings together the people, services and systems that shape Canberra’s future. We are a new directorate with a bold purpose: to deliver smarter, more connected services that respond to the needs of our Territory and community.
CED was established to align planning and transport, improve efficiency of development decisions, support environmental management, consolidate city services operations, and strengthen how government connects with the community. Our work spans the natural and built environments, city and transport services, and regulatory and customer service functions.
We are here to:
- Deliver streamlined, customer-focused services.
- Align planning, transport and environmental stewardship.
- Consolidate operations for greater efficiency and impact.
- Make government services more accessible, transparent and trusted.
At CED, we put people and place at the centre of everything we do. Whether shaping policy, maintaining public spaces, designing transport networks or supporting regulatory access, our people contribute to a connected, inclusive and resilient Canberra.
This position sits within the Fire Management Unit within the ACT Parks and Conservation Service (PCS). The section is responsible for the planning and delivery of bushfire mitigation and preparedness activities such as the current reviews of the Regional Bushfire Management Plan (RFMP) and Bushfire Operation Plan (BOP) to support delivery of the Strategic Bushfire Management Plan, management of the ACT fire trail network on public lands and commercial forestry operations. An essential and expanding part of the work undertaken by the unit is the incorporation across the landscape of Ngunnawal cultural burning and ecological burning.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
Eligibility/Other Requirements:
Requirements:
- Undertake bushfire related activities, including bushfire suppression.
- Work a shift roster, weekends, public holidays or evening shifts at any site on an “as needs” basis.
- Possess and maintain a current driver’s license; and

- Recognised tertiary qualifications in land management or environmental science, or relevant equivalent experience.
