Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) Districts are focussed on supporting a range of operational and organisational functions in the management of rural fires, enabling field-based staff and volunteers to concentrate on immediate task execution and response. Each District encompasses operational and support staff, RFSQ volunteers and rural fire brigades who provide fire management, mitigation, and response services for rural and semi-rural communities, including some urban fringe areas across the state.

The purpose of the role is to oversee operations across Area Offices (between two and four service delivery units) to drive excellence in prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities for bushfires and other emergencies across the district.

Reporting to the Assistant Chief Officer District, you will work closely with volunteers as well as other Area, District, Regional and State stakeholders to contribute to the strategic regional and operational planning, implementation and evaluation of district-wide and department-wide,



programs and initiatives to enhance rural fire management within the District. You will provide operational leadership and guidance to Area Operations teams, volunteers, and Brigades in mitigating the impact of bushfire, by promoting community awareness and education initiatives on fire prevention and ensuring appropriate oversight of operational decision making at a District level. You will ensure operational capacity and capability across the District (for staff and volunteers), enabling community protection and suitable fire management response.
