As an agency with diverse roles and responsibilities, the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) employs around 1900 staff as permanent staffers, contractors, casual and seasonal workers and trainees in cities and towns as well as in some of the most remote areas of the State. In fact, DEC is among the most decentralised State Government agencies with approximately three-quarters of its workforce employed in country areas.
Besides its Perth Offices, DEC operates from nine regional and nearly 20 district centres, as well as from a number of other locations. Staff work in the field, in offices and in laboratories, on a range of programs and projects dealing with environmental protection, plants, animals and people.
In addition to the attractive salary, and the opportunity to contribute to biodiversity and environmental conservation initiatives, the Department of Environment and Conservation offers a number of incentives including:
- an attractive salary packaging scheme;
- flexible working arrangements;
- well-established learning and development programs;
- comprehensive health and lifestyle programs;
- subsidised corporate wardrobe;
- a National Park Entry Pass; and
- an opportunity to work in iconic locations throughout Western Australia.
DEC endeavours to support its staff with training, safety and support programs, career development opportunities, as well as promote continual improvement, teamwork and flexibility to its workforce. DEC is actually a Registered Training Organisation, which means staff and trainees gain on-the-job experience under the guidance of certified trainers and are able to obtain a Technical and Further Education qualification.
DEC also has a comprehensive and inclusive trainee and employment scheme. A particular focus is the commitment to the employment of Indigenous people and aim to have 10 to 15 per cent of DEC’s entire workforce made up of Aboriginal people by 2013. This joint management initiative was a Government priority in terms of reconciliation and providing long-term, secure employment for Indigenous Western Australians.
DEC is a highly sought after employer that receives many employment applications from all around the world, from people who are qualified in a variety of disciplines, for a variety of positions.
If you have already submitted a resume, it will be retained on the Department's recruitment files. However, it is not possible to guarantee that your application will automatically be considered in the event of a suitable vacancy occurring. Therefore, it is necessary for you to submit an application for each specific advertised vacancy together with the required information and your resume.
In addition to being listed in DEC’s Current Advertised Job Vacancies page, advertisements for jobs will generally be placed on the WA Government Jobs Board at www.jobs.wa.gov.au and/or will be placed in the Government Appointments Section of The West Australian newspaper, giving details of the salary, essential qualification and experience, and instructions on how to lodge your application.
