Contaminated Sites

The Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) is responsible for protecting and conserving the environment on behalf of the people of Western Australia. DEC works closely with the community to manage WA’s natural resources, promote environmentally sustainable practices, lead climate change actions, prevent pollution and remediate contamination. We also manage WA’s national parks, conservation parks, marine parks, nature reserves and State forests and protect and conserve WA’s native plants and animals.

We are looking for talented and dedicated people to join our environmental regulation team.

• regulating emissions and discharges
