Cardinia Shire is one of metropolitan Melbourne’s fastest-growing regions. Located 45 kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD, the shire – which is a mix of urban, hills and rural areas – extends from the Dandenong Ranges in the north to Westernport Bay in the south. Cardinia Shire Council is an innovative, inclusive, collaborative and exciting place to work! Our permanent hybrid working model allows us to prioritise our community's needs while providing flexibility for our (approximately) 650-700 employees. While much of our work takes place out in the community, employees working in our office spaces do so in a modern, high-technology Activity Based Working (ABW) environment. This way of working means employees don’t have a permanent desk – they choose their workspace according to the type of work they’re doing that day and who they’re collaborating with. This work style fosters greater cross-team communication and knowledge sharing, which increases our efficiency and leads to better outcomes for our community. Investing in our employees is important to us. We offer a comprehensive induction and onboarding program, a wide range of training and development opportunities, plus employee benefits including discounted gym memberships and health insurance, annual leave loading, and an excellent health and wellbeing program.  The career opportunities at Cardinia are as wide-ranging as the services we provide!
