Community engagement is a large part of this role and cooperation and collaboration are key elements of all weed management programs.
The successful applicant will on occasion be required to directly carry out weed control of emergency incursions. Other important duties include the collection of scientific research data and survey and monitoring of weed infestations. The duties may include the supervision of subordinate or volunteer staff.
