FIREFIGHTERS for the Port Phillip region are being recruited.

Forest Fire Management Victoria is looking for people to help assist during the next bushfire season. It is hoping to find 22 “project firefighters”, with roles as general firefighters, fire support officers, and rappel crew available.

Forest Fire Management Victoria Port Phillip fire officer Tamara Beckett has encouraged people to apply. “These fixed term positions are a fantastic opportunity for people from all walks of life who are physically fit to get out in the bush, protect Victoria from bushfires and help to maintain public land right across the state,” she said. “You could be operating heavy machinery one week and responding to an emergency the next. The roles involve being on the frontline fighting bushfires, conducting planned burns, managing roadside vegetation, pest and weed control, maintaining access to fire trails and roads, and supporting other emergency work to help protect the community and environment.

“Successful recruits will be fully trained and get the opportunity to work with experienced staff from a range of fire management agencies right across the state, and potentially nationally and internationally if required.”

Eighteen roles have been set aside for Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. A driver’s licence and medical and fitness assessment is required.

Applications close 31 July. Apply at jobs.careers.vic.gov.au/pff or call 136 186.
