Looking for a challenging and rewarding job?
Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) may just have the job for you as they are looking for people in the Grampians region to help protect Victorian communities for the upcoming bushfire season and to assist with land management activities, to join its team.
FFMVic’s Deputy Chief Fire Officer Tony English said applications are now open for approximately 45 project firefighters (PFF) to work in a number of locations across the Grampians region.
“These fixed term positions are a fantastic opportunity for people from all walks of life who are physically fit to get out in the bush, protect Victoria from bushfires and help to maintain public land right across the state,” Mr English said.
“You could be operating heavy machinery one week and responding to an emergency the next.
“The roles involve being on the frontline fighting bushfires, conducting planned burns, managing roadside vegetation, pest and weed control, maintaining access to fire trails and roads, and supporting other emergency work to help protect the community and environment.”
The range of PFF roles available include general firefighters, fire support officers and rappel crew.
“Successful recruits will be fully trained and get the opportunity to work with experienced staff from a range of fire management agencies right across the state, and potentially nationally and internationally if required.”
Applications are now open and close on 31 July, to apply visit jobs.careers.vic.gov.au/pff or call 136 186.
