Western Local Land Service (LLS) is seeking an enthusiastic Biosecurity Support Officer to deliver frontline activities as part of the 2025/26 Feral Pig and Pest Project (FPPP) in the Broken Hill area.

About The Role
This role focuses on on-ground delivery of pest animal management programs, with a strong emphasis on controlling feral pig populations and other priority pests. As part of the FPPP team, you will:

  • Assist with surveillance, compliance, and control programs
  • Work directly with landholders, community groups, and partner agencies to deliver coordinated pest management activities

Every day brings something different — from monitoring feral pig activity to supporting landholders in implementing best-practice control measures.

What We're Looking For
We are looking for motivated, practical, and adaptable individuals who enjoy hands-on fieldwork. You will bring:

  • Knowledge and/or qualifications in agriculture, biosecurity, pest management, or natural resource management
  • Experience with pest animal management and safe use of pesticides (or willingness to gain this knowledge)
  • Capacity to obtain and maintain a NSW Firearms Licence and relevant Statement of Attainment for humane animal destruction (AHCVPT203A, AHCPMG304)
  • Current NSW Driver Licence and the ability to work flexibly across the region

Why join us?
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a high-profile project tackling one of NSW's most significant pest animal challenges. By joining LLS, you'll contribute to meaningful outcomes for farmers, communities, and the environment while developing your skills in biosecurity and pest management.
