About the role:
As a Ranger you will be accountable for delivering a wide variety of land management activities within the Ovens-King area of management.

  • An interest and passion for environmental conservation, park management and providing quality visitor facilities.
  • Ability to drive a manual vehicle in remote and challenging terrain.
