You’ll also guide FCNSW’s general land management obligations (vertebrate pest and weed management) which will require you to deal with a range of stakeholders from individuals to multinational corporations on issues including forest recreation, permitted activities (such as hunting, mining and mine exploration) and neighbour engagement ; this role is not just about the trees — it’s about managing an entire landscape with purpose and integrity.
**We would love you to have/be**:

- Robust background in firefighting and fire management
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you’re a people person who can work with everyone from field crew, local communities, and high level external and internal stakeholders.

- Able to operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability

This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of fire preparedness, stewardship, and regional leadership — all in a role that’s as diverse, meaningful, and challenging as the land you’ll manage.
