Based in Armadale | On-the-road role | Community and Team-focused environment | Fixed Roster, including weekends
If you're looking for a Ranger role with variety, visibility and purpose, this is your chance to work in one of WA's most diverse and fast growing local government areas.
At the City of Armadale, our Rangers are more than an enforcement presence. They're out in the community every day helping people, solving practical problems, supporting safer public spaces and setting the standard for how a growing City lives, works and connects.
Why Armadale?
Armadale offers a Ranger role with range.
You'll work across new and established suburbs, busy public spaces, parks, reserves, rural style properties, hills communities and bushfire prone areas. One day you may be helping a resident understand their responsibilities; the next you may be managing animal issues, parking matters, fire hazards, public safety concerns or supporting emergency management activities.
This is not a narrow compliance role. It's hands on, community facing work where good judgement, calm communication and practical problem solving matter.
As Armadale continues to grow, our Rangers play a key role in educating the community, protecting public places and helping residents understand how we keep the City safe, respectful and thriving.
If you want to be active, trusted, supported by your team and genuinely make a difference every day, Armadale offers that opportunity.
