Working with Council
Councils are traditionally known for employing engineers, building surveyors and maintenance staff who look after roads and parks, however, Coolamon Shire Council offers a variety of other career opportunities in challenging and rewarding environments.
There are career opportunities in a number of fields including finance, environmental and statutory planning, aged care, childcare, human resources, work, health and safety, administration and customer service, building control, engineering, roads and parks maintenance and property management.
In addition to this, various tenders and quotations are offered by Council for the provision of goods and services which opens up a different avenue for people to work with Council.
