About the Shire of Chittering
It is an exciting and challenging time to work for the Shire as a Local Government that is experiencing growth due to its desirable lifestyle, scenic environment, and the recently extended Tonkin Highway.

You will be someone who enjoys working outdoors, is comfortable operating in varied terrain and weather conditions, and can work both independently and as part of a team. You will bring strong communication skills to engage with property owners, contractors, and stakeholders, and have the confidence to support compliance and awareness initiatives related to bushfire risk. You are organised, safety-conscious, and capable of following operational procedures, with a willingness to learn and grow in the emergency management space. Experience using mapping systems (GIS/GPS), basic hand tools or machinery, and an understanding of the Bush Fires Act 1954 will be highly regarded.
