Are you ready to write a new chapter in your story? Our organisation values its people, respecting and embracing diversity and a balance between work and life commitments. Our staff are passionate about delivering outstanding environmental services to the communities throughout our diverse State. We have an opportunity for a Team Leader (Compliance), within the Environmental Services and Regulation (ESR) division of the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation.

This is a rewarding opportunity where you can help shape Queensland's environmental compliance sector. Your work will certainly be challenging and contentious at times and will involve a healthy amount of detailed compliance inspections!

● Opportunities to learn, discover and grow
You'll have the opportunity to build your capability within a supportive culture. Working in the challenging arena of front-line compliance activities, you'll be well equipped for future progression opportunities across QLD.
● A collaborative, innovative environment
You'll be part of a team of hard-working professionals in a genuinely welcoming, safe, and positive workplace. Here, we encourage one another to share our experiences so we can all learn, grow, and innovate.

You'll have the following work skills and experience (which define what you can contribute professionally):
