This is a unique opportunity to work in one of WA's most picturesque regions, where your skills will contribute directly to maintaining the safety, amenity and lifestyle that make Busselton a great place to live, work and visit.

The role of a Ranger:

As a Ranger, you will be responsible for enforcing local laws, State Government legislation and Council policies. You will also be a visible and approachable presence across the City, providing advice, education and high-level customer service to residents and visitors alike.

This is a hands-on, operational role where every day brings something new—from investigating local law breaches and conducting patrols, to assisting in emergency situations or supporting community education programs.

• Supporting legal proceedings through accurate documentation and attendance.
• Maintaining the City's animal management facility.
• Educating the community and promoting positive engagement.
• Patrolling public spaces and City assets to ensure community safety.

What you'll bring to the role:

• Experience in regulatory enforcement, preferably as a Ranger or similar roles such as law enforcement, compliance and health and safety.
• ROCS 1 & 2 or equivalent qualifications.
• Certificate IV in Government Investigations (desirable).
• A good working knowledge of relevant legislation and legal procedures.
• Excellent communication, time management and conflict resolution skills.
