With over 70,000 volunteer members and staff, we embody the spirit of mutual respect, support, friendship, and camaraderie. We are one team with many players, united by a single purpose. If you share our passion for community service and environmental protection, we want to hear from you! Become a part of our mission to safeguard lives and our cherished NSW landscapes.

What you’ll be doing:

Help shape the future of emergency response. Join the NSW RFS and lead the design and development of specialised fleet solutions that support frontline operations across the state. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineering professional to combine technical expertise, innovation, and leadership in a role that delivers real community impact.

As Fleet Design Supervisor, you will lead a team, driving fleet design and research projects, and ensure vehicles meet Australian Design Rules and industry standards. You’ll tackle complex engineering challenges, champion continuous improvement,



and deliver practical solutions that enhance operational capability and safety.

We’re looking for a confident leader who thrives on innovation, values collaboration, and can work autonomously in a dynamic environment. A passion for community service and an appreciation of volunteer-based organisations are essential.

If you’re ready to lead creative fleet design projects that help protect communities across NSW, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Ideal Candidate:

- NSW RFS is seeking an experienced and innovative engineering professional with strong technical expertise, leadership capability, and an appreciation for volunteer-based community service organisations.

- You will have experience leading and supporting a small team to deliver design-related projects and achieve high-quality outcomes, while fostering collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.




- The role requires a high degree of autonomy, with responsibility for making informed decisions within established policies, procedures, legislative requirements, and delegated authorities, while recognising when matters require escalation or specialist advice.
- A strong commitment to workplace health and safety is essential. The successful candidate will actively comply with the Work Health and Safety Act and associated legislation, ensuring safety considerations are embedded in all aspects of their work.
- If you are a technically capable leader who values innovation, accountability, and community service, and are looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact supporting communities across NSW, we encourage you to apply.
