South East LLS has a fantastic opportunity available to join LLS’s broader Biosecurity team. This role is ideal for someone who is enthusiastic about developing, managing and implementing a range of projects to support and improve state-wide service delivery and meet LLS objectives. As part of the team, you'll be responsible for delivering projects, programs and advisory services that align with national, state and regional plans, local plant biosecurity priorities, and key objectives. This role is crucial in safeguarding the NSW economy, environment, and community to meet national and state standards and outcomes, support staff and customers to improve emergency planning, preparedness, response and recovery relating to plant biosecurity threats.
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Project and Programs Officer, Plant Biosecurity, to join our team and contribute to the protection of our region’s agricultural and environmental assets. This role combines office-based strategic responsibilities with fieldwork, offering a unique opportunity to drive impactful biosecurity initiatives. You will facilitate training, knowledge sharing, and activities that align key plant stakeholders, community groups, and internal staff with identified priority pests, prevention measures, and preparedness protocols, ensuring a coordinated and effective approach.
In this role, you will enhance plant biosecurity preparedness by establishing and nurturing collaborative partnerships among regional stakeholder groups. Your role will involve representing the organisation at key community and plant industry events, promoting awareness and adherence to biosecurity best practices. You will work closely with community leaders, organisations, and networks to integrate biosecurity education and practices into broader frameworks, while also contributing expert insights to the development of local and regional plant biosecurity management plans. This position demands a strategic thinker with exceptional interpersonal and organisational skills.
A critical aspect of the role involves close liaison with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) Plant Biosecurity and Product Integrity team to design and implement surveillance programs targeting high-priority exotic plant pests and high-risk pathways. You will develop and disseminate media releases addressing topical biosecurity issues across the South East, participate in emergency plant pest responses, and create comprehensive information packages to streamline reporting procedures for suspect exotic pests. Additionally, you will support DPIRD-specific surveillance efforts for emergency responses and market access requirements, ensuring alignment with broader organisational objectives.
