**A job that matters. A contribution that counts.
Whatever your job with us, you'll strive and innovate to achieve a better Queensland. Our role is complex, and our work can be challenging - important work usually is. But your contribution will count, and so will you.
Why work for us?
There are always opportunities for growth and professional development. Our teams and our working environments are diverse, and so are our people. We are here to enable long-term, sustainable decisions for the environment and the economy. It can be a difficult, and at times unpopular, role - think regulatory compliance. It can also mean balancing your personal ideals, with the work that must be done. But it is work that truly matters, even more so because it's hard.
Your contribution
The following responsibilities are specific to this role in Sunshine Coast Operations. You'll find the full duties and responsibilities for a WOO5 Wildlife Ranger in the attachments.
Support the regulatory compliance activities of Southern Wildlife Operations under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. This includes assisting in responding to complaints from the public, conducting audits of permit holders and actively investigating reports of the illegal take of native flora and fauna.
Be able to handle animals and apply biosecurity principles as needed for native wildlife as the need arises.
Promotion of awareness, appreciation and understanding of conservation values of native flora and fauna to the public while enhancing their understanding of compliance obligations of the Nature Conservation Act 1992. We want to ensure that all people can safely and lawfully interact with our native animals.
What is in it for you?
You'll have opportunity to make a real contribution to protecting Queensland's native flora and fauna.
You'll be mentored by experienced leaders to continue to develop your own compliance and animal husbandry/handling skills in the classroom and on the job. In fact, we'll match your commitment to your growth and development all round.
No two days are the same here, regulatory compliance and managing human/animal interactions are everchanging activities. Sunshine Coast Operations team members regularly travel and work to support other wildlife team members across Southern Wildlife Operation's area of responsibility.
About you
You are a self-motivated person with enthusiasm and drive. You will be able to work within a small but very active high performing team. You will measure your own success through your team thriving and kicking goals in a sometimes-challenging environment.
You are a confident communicator able to engage with a wide range of people respectfully and confidently, sometimes under difficult circumstances. You can provide clear and concise information both verbally and written.
You have regulatory compliance skills, or the ability to quickly acquire them, to support compliance operations under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
You have good animal handling/husbandry skills, or the ability to quickly acquire them.
