Careers and Employment at DSE

A sustainable career that's as diverse as our natural environment

All employment opportunities at DSE can be found on the Victorian Government Careers website. They include jobs in a wide range of fields, such as general and applied sciences, biology, ecology, fire fighting, economics, law, engineering, finance, education, project management, human resources, communications and information technology.

We also offer a number of specialist employment programs:

DSE Cadetship Program
Get paid to study science at a Victorian university, plus employment with DSE on completion of your degree.
The DSE Science Graduate Program
A two year career development program for recent graduates in science, natural resource management, ecology, conservation and related fields.
VPS Graduate Recruitment and Development Scheme
A general program for graduates, involving 12 months of workplace rotations across the Victorian Public Service, then a return to ongoing employment in your "home" department or agency.

A career at DSE will see you working with passionate, inspiring people - all working together for a sustainable environment. Find out more about why you should work at DSE.

As an employer we treat all job applicants, employees and contractors on the basis of individual merit rather than on irrelevant personal characteristics such as age, disability/impairment, marital status, physical appearance, race, religion or sex.

We therefore employ people from many different backgrounds. And we benefit from the diverse range of perspectives and skills they bring to DSE.
