Boasting the largest and most advanced search and rescue fleet in Australasia, along with the most extensive marine VHF radio network, the 3,000 highly trained volunteers and staff in 44 strategically located units deliver this life-saving service 24/7/365.

About the Opportunity
Marine Rescue NSW now has an exciting opportunity for a driven IT Developer/Project Manager to join their team in Cronulla on a permanent, full-time basis.
Reporting to the IT Director, you will be responsible for coding and testing software and mobile apps, and managing the planning and delivery of software project activities.
This role will see you working closely with IT staff, other Executive Officers, external developers and MRNSW Unit stakeholders to deliver multiple concurrent IT projects.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include (but not be limited to):
- Developing and delivering software applications;
- Overseeing the planning and implementation of IT project activities, both internally and externally;
- Giving input on the preparation of annual budgets, analysing variances, and monitoring expenditures;
- Leading the quality assurance of project deliverables, including evaluating and assessing the results of projects;
- Developing project timelines and schedules, reporting on progress and implementing changes as necessary to meet project outputs; and
- Recommending IT strategies or policies to meet organisational requirements, reviewing and evaluating these and supporting the development of new resources as required.
About You
To be successful in this role you will need demonstrated experience in software development, including html, javascript, php and web stacks such as LAMP or MEAN.
You will have a working knowledge of databases, including integration into software applications, and the ability to effectively prioritise tasks, identify and mitigate risks, and meet deadlines successfully.
Experience in Project Management roles, for both business and IT projects, will be essential, and you will be capable of seeing the 'big-picture' of projects, with the ability to multi-task and manage various project elements simultaneously.
You will be an articulate and engaging communicator, able to liaise with a range of project stakeholders, and have an understanding of the importance of ethics and confidentiality.
Excellent written and oral communication skills, and the ability to prepare and present complex written reports and business cases are a must.
Finally, you will be self-motivated, with a commitment to working in support of volunteers and community safety.
About the Benefits
Marine Rescue NSW is a world-class organisation committed to working collaboratively at all levels and made up of personnel who are highly motivated and passionate about saving lives and preventing injury on NSW Waterways.
You will be rewarded with a highly competitive salary (negotiable based on skills and experience) including access to not-for-profit salary sacrificing options.
Not only will you benefit from your own dedicated office, ample free parking, and a flexible working environment; you will get to work each day in arguably one of the best office locations in all of Sydney - with waterside views; adjacent cafes, beaches and coastal tracks; and only a short distance to the Cronulla Train Station.
