ABOUT YOU

The City of Ballarat is seeking an experienced technical officer who has aspirations to develop their leadership skills. You will ideally have an understanding of a range of IT-based systems relevant to Statutory Planning. You will also bring a positive attitude and have a desire to coach and mentor more inexperienced officers. Whilst previous experience in a similar level position is desired, this is not essential. Candidates will be judged as much upon fit and attitude as their technical capabilities.
