About the role
National Parks and Wildlife Service offers Rangers the opportunity to join the Greater Sydney team and contribute to conservation of the natural environment, flora, fauna, and Aboriginal heritage within the NPWS Greater Sydney Branch.
As a Ranger you will provide effective management of natural, historic and Aboriginal heritage by undertaking, coordinating and supervising projects, conducting environmental assessments, liaising with visitors and stakeholders, and performing field-based activities including burn planning, wildfire management, and law enforcement.
The role offers diversity, flexibility, and autonomy. Strong communication skills will help tackle evolving priorities across various estates. Outdoor duties such as pest, weed, and fire management, consulting, and coordination will be balanced by indoor tasks like compiling reports and submissions.
