Field Officers NQ
We’ve got work for your mates - Mossman & South Johnstone crews
With the season just around the corner, AWX is recruiting for immediate vacancies in Mossman and South Johnstone and inviting expressions of interest for upcoming roles in Cairns.
If you know anyone who enjoys working outdoors and is keen to be part of a hands on crew, now’s the time to get them on board.
The roles
We’re seeking Field Surveillance Officers to support eradication programs focused on removing harmful species from the Australian environment.
These roles involve working in tropical conditions and navigating challenging terrain, including steep slopes, dense vegetation and remote bushland areas. Team members may also encounter hazardous flora and fauna, so confidence and awareness in the field are essential.
