Wildlife Conservation Specialist
3 weeks ago
The role of Operations Manager is crucial in ensuring the effective conservation of Australian wildlife and their habitats.
This position plays a key role in our partnership with Traditional Owners of the Ngalurrtju Aboriginal Land Trust, enhancing conservation efforts by integrating our strategies with active involvement from Traditional Owners in planning and through the employment of Indigenous Rangers.
The Operations Manager will be responsible for coordinating planning meetings with Traditional Owners, ensuring work plans are approved before implementation, establishing and managing an Indigenous ranger team, and ensuring the program adheres to our standard operating systems.
Success in this role will be measured by the development of positive stakeholder relationships and effective conservation outcomes. Key metrics for conservation success include the populations of indicator species, reduction in un-prescribed fires, feral animal populations, and invasive weeds, as well as cost efficiency.
To achieve these goals, the Operations Manager must manage resources efficiently according to an approved budget and operations plan, ensuring tight integration between operations and science teams. Engagement with stakeholders and supporters, including participation in events and communications, is also crucial.
Critical Competencies- Strategic Planning: Exceptional planning and organizational skills, with the ability to efficiently coordinate, prioritize, and execute numerous tasks.
- Staff Management: Excellent people management skills, including recruiting, leading, developing, and coordinating remote teams of staff, volunteers, and contractors.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of establishing and maintaining relationships with diverse stakeholders.
- Infrastructure Management: Practical skills in asset maintenance and infrastructure projects, including supervising and implementing projects, maintaining assets, and performing routine repairs. 4WD experience in difficult conditions is essential.
- Land Conservation: Experience in delivering land management programs, including feral eradication, prescribed fire, and weed management programs.
- Financial Acumen: Ability to deliver projects cost-effectively and manage financial resources, including budgeting, tracking expenditure, and preparing financial reports.
- Record Keeping: Ability to maintain records, manage data, write reports, manage permit processes, and undertake contract management.
- Resourcefulness: Ability to improvise and solve problems with limited resources.
- Rural Experience: Experience working and living in rural or remote areas, and supervising teams in geographically diverse locations.
- IT Proficiency: Competence in using standard business software packages like Word, Excel, MS Outlook, and cloud servers.
- Passion for Conservation: A strong interest or passion for conservation.
- Travel Flexibility: Open to travelling as needed.
Formal qualifications in a relevant discipline would be an advantage, but are less important than having strong, practical experience and a good track record of delivering on-ground results in land management.
Licenses and Certificates- A valid manual drivers licence with 4WD experience in difficult conditions is essential. 4WD training can be provided to the successful candidate prior commencement.
- Senior first aid certificate (remote certification – highly desirable).
- Valid agricultural machinery licenses such as trucks, backhoe and other machinery as relevant (desirable).
- Valid firearms license (highly desirable).
- Chemical use certification.
- Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (National Police Check).
This role is initially offered as a 12-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of an extension or permanency. The role is based in Alice Springs with regular trips to Ngalurrtju (approx. 250km north west), where basic on-site accommodation is available.
