- Join our dynamic team at CSIRO – Australia’s National Science Agency!
We are currently seeking an experienced and driven individual, who would be keen to further develop their career in fire testing within a large multi-faceted organisation, to join our team in North Ryde!
CSIRO Fire Testing services combines expertise and full-scale fire test capabilities to simulate a wide range of fire scenarios, providing a unique fire research, consulting and testing facility to industry.
