Offering technical guidance, whether in the field or at the office

Preparing standout proposals and tenders that win projects

Building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders

What You Bring to the Table

A degree in environmental science, geology, hydrogeology, soil science, or something similar (postgrad? Even better!)

8+ years of experience in contaminated land projects, including project management and direction

A solid understanding of NSW contaminated land legislation and NEPM assessment frameworks

Hands-on experience selecting and implementing remediation technologies

Sharp analytical skills and a talent for translating complex data into actionable solutions

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills—you know how to work with clients and a team

What’s in It for You?

A competitive salary—because your skills and experience deserve to be rewarded

A modern office with great public transport links

Flexible working arrangements—because life isn’t just about work

Access to top-tier mentorship (EPA site auditors)

A clear pathway for career progression—your next step is mapped out
