  • Respectful - demonstrating care, recognition and integrity
  • Dedicated - committed to delivering effective outcomes, with resilience and tenacity
  • Innovative - applying creative thinking for effective solutions

OneAWC 'a cohesive, engaged, collaborative, high performing group guided by strong, effective leaders. A group of people who all understand AWC's mission, vision and their role in contributing to the achievement of mission and vision, all connected and working towards a common purpose, guided by a set of shared values'. The delivery of AWC's mission is highly reliant on all AWC working collaboratively with each other.

About the Central region & Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary:
The central region includes ten sanctuaries across the Northern Territory and South Australia, covering nearly 2 million hectares and protecting various threatened species and habitats. These sanctuaries have unique requirements for fire management, invasive species control, ecosystem restoration, and visitor management. The region employs around 20 full-time staff, several interns, research students, and engages casual staff and volunteers. Operations are overseen by Sanctuary Managers and science programs by the Regional Ecologist (Central South).

Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary, one of Australia's largest non-government protected areas, spans 262,000 hectares and features diverse landscapes. A significant project at Newhaven involves creating a massive feral cat-free area, providing refuge for at least 10 nationally threatened mammal species.

You can find more information here: Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary

About the roles:
We are seeking
two positions: Senior Land Management Officer (SLMO) and Land Management Officer (LMO)
, both reporting to the Sanctuary Manager. Within AWC, the operations and science teams work in an integrated manner to design and deliver conservation and land management, and to measure and report on ecological health as part of the national AWC approach to conservation. Both roles contribute directly to this mission by supporting the effective management of land, wildlife, and infrastructure across the sanctuary.

The Land Management Officer is responsible for delivering land management programs for conservation, including fire management, weed and feral animal control. The role also encompasses a wide range of tasks such as asset and infrastructure maintenance, requiring practical trade skills, knowledge of repairs, and the ability to operate a variety of plant and equipment.

Similarly, the Senior Land Management Officer requires practical experience in land management programs, project management, and the use of equipment and tools. In addition to supporting day-to-day operations, this role coordinates multiple projects and engages with a broad range of stakeholders, including scientists, students, volunteers, visitors, neighbouring landholders, Indigenous communities, and government agencies. The SLMO also plays a key role in developing and implementing new models for conservation in collaboration with central/central-south staff.

Critical competencies:
Both roles require:

  • Practical land and asset management skills - experience in fire management, weed and feral animal control, infrastructure repair and maintenance (e.g., fencing, roads, buildings), and operation of plant and equipment (4WDs, ATVs, tractors, generators, pumps, chainsaws, welders, etc.). A broad knowledge of trades (building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, welding) is desirable.
  • Problem-solving and resourcefulness - ability to develop practical solutions with limited resources.
  • Teamwork and independence - capacity to work effectively in small, often remote teams, as well as independently.
  • Adaptability to remote living - resilience and experience working in rural or semi-remote environments.
  • Conservation focus - understanding of and interest in Australian ecology and conservation issues.
  • IT skills - ability in using standard business software packages (including Word, email, Excel) is essential.

Additional for the Senior Land Management Officer:

  • Leadership and staff management - ability to lead, coordinate, and support operational staff, volunteers, and contractors, often in remote settings.
  • Stakeholder engagement - strong interpersonal skills to build and maintain relationships with scientists, Indigenous communities, landholders, government, students, and volunteers.
  • Project and financial management - experience managing multiple projects, budgets, and compliance requirements, including record-keeping and permits.
  • Advanced planning and organisation - demonstrated ability to coordinate day-to-day operations alongside larger conservation initiatives.
  • Specialist land management skills - bushfire control training/experience and advanced 4WD skills suited to challenging off-road conditions.

Qualifications:
Formal qualifications in a relevant discipline would be an advantage, but are less important than strong, practical experience and a good track record of delivering 'on-ground' results.

Licenses, Certificates and/or Training:

  • A valid manual drivers licence with 4WD experience in difficult conditions is essential. 4WD training can be provided to the successful candidate prior to commencement.
  • Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (National Police Check).
  • Medium Rigid drivers licence (desirable).
  • First aid certificate (essential), remote first aid (desirable)
  • Firearm licence (desirable).

PLEASE NOTE
: This role is based at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary, approx. 4.5 hours' drive north of Alice Springs. Basic on-site accommodation is provided to the successful candidate.
