Fire Behaviour Analyst and Prescribed Burn Coordinator
Full-time Permanent
Details: Would you like an opportunity to contribute to keeping our ACT community safe? Are you a great communicator, enthusiastic and dedicated?
As the Fire Behaviour Analyst and Prescribed Burn Coordinator, you will use fire and weather data to help predict and understand hazards like bushfires and severe weather so our communities and emergency services can better prepare and respond. You will use your knowledge of fire behaviour and fire management to plan, conduct site visits, and coordinate prescribed burning operations for the ACT Rural Fire Service (ACT RFS).
You will also assist the ACT RFS with a wide variety of administrative and practical support during incident responses. To do this well, you will need to understand how the ACT RFS operates or be ready to learn quickly on the job.
In return you will be provided with a supportive team environment, an excellent opportunity to broaden your skills and capabilities, and insight into how the ACT RFS and broader Emergency Services Agency (ESA) provides a collaborative service to protect the ACT community.
