Join the Front Line of Community Safety — Become a Senior Ranger with the City of Karratha!

Are you a confident leader with a passion for community engagement and compliance? Do you thrive in a dynamic outdoor environment and enjoy mentoring others? If so, we want you on our team!

The City of Karratha is seeking a proactive and motivated Senior Ranger to play a key leadership role within our high-performing Ranger Services team. This position is your opportunity to make a real impact — not just enforcing the law, but also educating, engaging, and empowering our community to create a safe and vibrant city for all.

About the Role

As Senior Ranger, you'll be responsible for leading day-to-day Ranger operations, guiding and mentoring team members, and supporting the Coordinator with planning, compliance, and community education. This is a diverse and hands-on role where no two days are the same — from animal control and off-road patrols to stakeholder engagement and emergency response support.

What You'll Do

• Provide operational leadership and support to the Ranger team
• Mentor and coach staff in inspections, investigations, and community interactions
• Lead by example in delivering high-quality compliance, education, and enforcement
• Represent Ranger Services with external stakeholders such as WA Police and emergency agencies
• Assist in developing and delivering proactive community education campaigns
• Act as Coordinator when required

What You'll Bring

• Proven leadership and mentoring experience in a compliance or local government environment
• Strong understanding of legislation relevant to Ranger Services and enforcement processes
• Excellent communication and conflict resolution skills
• Regulatory Officer Compliance Skills 1 and 2 (Municipal Law A and B)
• Current C Class driver’s licence
• A commitment to safety, community service, and continuous improvement
• Desirable extras include four-wheel driving, animal handling, firearm safety, and experience with reptiles or fire control.

Why Join Us?

• Live and work in one of WA’s most stunning regions, rich in culture, coastlines, and outback adventure
• Be part of a collaborative team that values integrity, innovation, and leadership
• Work with purpose — protecting people, pets, and the environment while building positive relationships
• Enjoy a diverse, action-oriented role that keeps you engaged and growing
