The User Experience and User Interface (UX/UI) Designer is part of the Data Analytics Information Systems (DAIS) team within the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA). This role is part of a software development team that creates and maintains web applications, mobile applications, native app experiences and specialised operational interfaces that support DEECA’s emergency, incident, biosecurity and land management activities across Victoria.
The role is responsible for creating accessible, user-friendly and visually consistent digital product experiences across the department’s technology platforms. While UX and UI remain core parts of the role, the work also extends across visual design, accessibility, design system creation and alignment, component library usage, stakeholder validation, development handoff and scalable design direction.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate expertise across UI, visual and UX design, with practical experience using design systems and component-based design practices. A strong understanding of accessibility principles, including the ability to integrate accessibility into user experience and interface design decisions, is essential for this role.
This is a hands-on design delivery role suited to someone who can bring UX/UI thinking, visual design quality and accessibility knowledge, while working within agreed design standards, design system guidance, feedback cycles and established review processes.
