We're seeking a capable and confident leader who can guide people and operations through complexity and change. You'll manage diverse teams across multiple Districts, make sound decisions under pressure, coordinate effectively across teams and agencies, and maintain a clear focus on community safety. You demonstrate due diligence in all aspects of leadership, from safety and workplace to responsible financial stewardship. You understand the realities of emergency management and the importance of supporting volunteers. You're practical, collaborative, and able to lead with both authority and respect, holding yourself and others to account. You know how to build trust, communicate clearly, and keep people focused, even in challenging situations. You also understand the role of Area Commands in leading our Districts - ensuring a high level of consistency, standardisation, and coordinated service delivery, in a decentralised workplace. You'll work closely with District Managers to help them focus on prevention, mitigation, and response, while promoting positive volunteer participation and sustainable membership.

Provide analysis, expert advice, and planning support to bush fire hazard mitigation activities and firefighting operations. The role works in collaboration with Managers within Areas and Districts.
