Job alert: sustainability actuary

So how good does this sound? Work by Lake Macquarie, about 90 minutes north of Sydney, in a role that is ‘working to sustain the environment’ and help the Environmental Systems Department walk the talk, as the advert says.

“Lake Macquarie City Council is looking for the ideal person to drive the measurable attainment of a sustainable eco-footprint for the organisation, for the city, and to contribute to the global effort to address global risk; a holistic sustainability specialist who can lead a new and exciting field and provide an example to the world.”

In exchange, you get to live next to the piece of loveliness pictured here and make up to $79,893 (or even $101,000, as another version of the advert in this week’s Economist shows) plus some other nice benefits. Get the detailed description here (pdf file). What a winner.
