What We Offer

We offer a unique opportunity for the right candidate to live and work in Bamaga, at the tip of the Australia continent. The successful candidate would be provided modest accommodation as part of their remuneration package. Opportunities such as this are rare. This role could also be undertaken on a 'fly-in, fly-out' basis from Cairns, but candidates should be aware that significant periods of time would be spent in the field in northern Cape York. If candidates decide to live and work full-time from Bamaga and have a skilled partner working in a similar field, then we may consider hiring both of you to undertake work in the area.
