Professionally qualified staff and specialists

The diversity of activities carried out by the Department of Environment and Conservation means that we employ people with tertiary qualifications in many disciplines, including:

Some of these may be Specified Calling positions. To apply for these jobs, it is an essential requirement that you have a tertiary qualification in the particular discipline specified for that role. Many applicants will also have post graduate qualifications or are continuing with post graduate studies.

However, a position that is not classified as Specified Calling may be available to people with relevant experience in a similar role.  

Some professionally qualified staff work in a managerial capacity, being responsible for the function and performance of personnel in a district, branch or section. Promotion is dependent on merit and vacancy.

The department offers a wide variety of work associated with natural resource management.

The department actively pursues equal opportunity in employment; women, people with disabilities and those from non-English speaking backgrounds are encouraged to apply for vacancies. The department is likewise committed to employing Aboriginals and has a strategy for Aboriginal Employment. This strategy recognises that achievement of departmental responsibilities, functions and objectives can be attained and enhanced by the participation and contribution of Aboriginal people.
