South West NRM delivers sustainable solutions to environmental challenges. Operating in a recognised global biodiversity hotspot, the south-west of WA, we have an intimate knowledge of our local area and extensive natural resource management expertise.

Why work for us? We are an inquisitive bunch, with big ambition to deliver game-changing solutions to environmental issues – and we are purposefully agile and creative to make sure we get there! Working in a scientific discipline we also remain objective and respectful in everything we do. We love getting out there and interacting with our many stakeholders – so the opportunity to gain experience and influence is great, and it makes for the collaboration that underpins our success.
