The Environmental Regulation Division is responsible for striking a balance between protecting the Territory's environment and enabling sustainable development.

The Division ensures compliance with the Territory's environmental laws by applying best practice regulatory principles across the regulatory spectrum, from assessment through to compliance and enforcement.

As Manager Environmental Regulation you will be providing guidance and feedback to officers and supporting the team's professional development, as well as providing specialist advice.

To be successful, you will have proven leadership experience, and significant experience in environmental science, management and/or auditing/compliance and regulation.

We pride ourselves in our friendly and supportive team culture that encourages professional development and continuous improvement through cooperation, training and respectful feedback.

You will be rewarded with a competitive salary package including 12% superannuation, 6 weeks recreation leave, 17.5% annual leave loading, negotiable flexible work arrangements, potential for assistance with relocation costs, and an opportunity to experience the uniqueness of living in the Northern Territory.
