  • Assist with wastewater and septic system assessments, helping to protect our natural environment.
  • Support investigations into public health matters such as nuisance complaints, pest control, or pollution issues.

  • Background or studies in health science, environmental health or another related health discipline. Students currently studying an environmental health course are encouraged to apply.
  • Current driver's licence.
  • Strong customer service and communication skills — you'll enjoy engaging with the community and building positive relationships.
  • Ability to plan, organise and manage your own workload effectively.
  • Team player with a collaborative approach and commitment to workplace safety.

Desirable skills but not essential:

  • Understanding of environmental health practices such as wastewater management, food safety, or public health.
  • Knowledge of relevant legislation (Food Act, Public Health and Wellbeing Act, Environment Protection Act, Tobacco Act) or the willingness to learn.
  • Computer literacy (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and ability to use electronic health systems.
  • Basic analytical and investigative skills to support inspections and compliance activities.

Why should you join us?

Be a part of a passionate, collaborative and driven team who truly care about what we do, how we do it and strive to make positive impacts within the community we serve.
