Working for us

You can achieve so much at Council… and it really matters

We’re big enough to be delivering large-scale, high-impact work for the community; we’re small enough that you can get directly involved. Here, you’ll rise to the challenge, solving problems and improving solutions. And you’ll see the results of your work firsthand, because you’re so much more than a cog in a wheel.

Together, we’re delivering for a whole community - from vital, everyday support, to major projects and future-focused development work. You’ll make a contribution that counts.

• From an Olympic-standard whitewater facility to a cutting-edge Green Hydrogen research station, discover Council’s most exciting new projects and the people behind them.

• We’re always immersed in natural habitat protection, through waterway, bushcare and wildlife programs. Have you heard about our Bluetooth Koala monitoring program?

Our people tell us they love the opportunities for varied work and experiences at Council

For some, it’s about a role with broad and diverse responsibilities. For others, it’s the opportunity to step up or move around to gain experience and broaden their horizons.

Whatever your role, working at Council means being surrounded by people who are as smart as they are kind, who share their time and knowledge freely and who are genuinely invested in your growth and success.

Our size and scale mean that you don’t have to leave to gain new expertise or try a new role. There are countless pathways for you to shape a meaningful career, right here at Council.

We have high expectations of our people - more so now than ever before

We genuinely care about what we do, and we work hard every day. That said, we all have lives outside of work, and here, we truly understand that balance matters.

So, in return for your hard work and commitment, we offer a range of attractive benefits and ongoing support programs. We also enable flexible working arrangements, where possible, to help you balance your career with life at home.

At its core, it’s about being seen as a whole person, and thriving in a work environment where you can bring your best self.

Meet Luke - Disaster Resilience Coordinator

 "You've got lots of opportunities to be able to grow and find a career - that's one of my favourite parts of Council."

Meet Angela - Senior Island Coordinator - North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah

"After all these years working here, I still love my job, because I work in the most beautiful part of the world."

You’ll work in, and contribute to, a naturally wonderful and highly diverse environment. Our region spans the sparkling waters of southern Moreton Bay to the borders of Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast. With outstanding natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and thriving residential and cultural areas, this place will captivate you.

You’ll also be a city builder! Together, we’re creating and enabling a flourishing and inclusive Redland City.

That means delivering the essential services our community needs to survive and thrive. It also means supporting elected members to make informed decisions and striving and innovating for future generations.

Whether you live locally or travel from further afield, you’ll find your place here. Our community is made up of warm, supportive and friendly people - and that feeling flows through to our relationships within Council.
