You'll be a strong decision-maker with the ability to think on your feet, you have a genuine interest in teamwork, and collaboration. Your fitness and enthusiasm will enable you to thrive and succeed in this diverse, fast-paced role.
This is a physically active role suited to candidates of all genders who are fit, enjoy working outdoors as part of a team, and are eager to learn and develop the skills and qualifications needed to contribute toward improving and maintaining some of NSW’s most precious natural places. Applicants must meet the requirements of a specific medical assessment which is inclusive of a clearance to undertake the fitness test for firefighting fitness roles (i.e. moderate level Task-Based Assessment for Firefighters) within the 12-month probationary period, if relevant.
