The Opportunity

The Industry, Infrastructure and Environment Division (II&E) is looking to fill EL1 Adviser positions. Vacancies are available immediately and over the course of 2024.

II&E offers fascinating work on issues that matter and prides itself on its culture. The content is diverse, the work is fast and meaningful, and the people are great. We work together to solve problems, strive to make a difference, lean into tough issues, focus on what matters most, and respect and support each other. We liaise closely across Commonwealth agencies and with others, working together to get things done.

EL1 Advisers play a key role in II&E's small teams, working across a wide range of portfolios and policy, including: climate change, energy, infrastructure investment, transport, regions and cities, communications, the arts, industry, science, agriculture, the environment and water, and resources.

EL1 Advisers play a leading role in the analysis and advice teams develop and provide to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet on policy development and program delivery. II&E works in the centre of government decision-making, providing advice to support Commonwealth Budget and Cabinet processes, legislation, and other Parliamentary processes.

A merit pool may be established and used to fill the same or similar vacancies for 18 months from the date of advertising.
