Field and Logistics Support Specialist
Karratha, WA (with travel across PKKP Country) – Full-time | Permanent
About Us
PKKP Aboriginal Corporation is a Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura–led organisation grounded in Country and culture, and unapologetically ambitious in how we protect, govern and strengthen it. Our work sits at the intersection of deep cultural authority and world‐class practice, and we are doing things differently.
PKKP is preparing to participate in one of the largest archaeological and cultural heritage projects of its kind in the world, carried out in partnership with internationally recognised experts.
We are building an organisation with a global outlook, forming international partnerships to strengthen Indigenous governance, cultural protection and land management. Our leadership and teams have engaged directly with Indigenous peoples and institutions overseas, including learning exchanges with the Sámi people in Norway, cultural and governance work in New Orleans, and emerging partnerships with world‐leading archaeological and research teams, including those connected to the Lascaux cave systems in France.
At our core, everything we do serves Country, culture and future generations. We value curiosity, courage and excellence, and we back our people to grow alongside the organisation.
