Careers at Council is a job portal set up by Australia's state and territory Local Government Associations, and its postings reflect real council work across engineering, operations, construction and planning. The tech footprint is heavy on spatial and civil tools (ArcGIS, QGIS, MapInfo, HEC-RAS, Civil 3D) alongside a Microsoft endpoint stack (Entra, Intune, Configuration Manager). Hiring is accelerating and centered on mid-level staff.
