The Position
We are seeking an experienced, outcomes-focused Assistant Director to coordinate and enable the Australian Government's capacity for understanding Reef health all-year round, with a heightened focus over the high-risk summer period to assess the impact of any significant Reef health event (including coral bleaching) using both aerial and in-water surveys and to explore new technology to allow remote data collection.

This includes working with Traditional Owners, a range of stakeholders, project management, coordinating partnerships and procurement, sourcing and providing technical advice and reporting.
You will work closely with Reef Authority staff, management partners, Traditional Owners and stakeholders to scope, design and develop protocols to support informative and timely evidence-based information on Reef health (specifically in relation to coral bleaching).
You will also coordinate aerial survey responses and in-water ground truthing as required.
Your efforts will position the Reef Authority with long-lasting tools and innovative technology options to support resilience-based management and reporting.
The current position is ongoing however through this process may create a merit pool to fill similar ongoing and non-ongoing positions that become available within the next 18 months.
