This position is suitable for someone who wants to be in control of their own destiny and prefers a role which allows unlimited training and growth as opposed to being “pigeon holed” as can be the case with larger and more bureaucratic companies.

Our client is a specialist in the environmental field and has some of Australia’s key environmental figures, which leads to them being networked at the highest levels of government and within the private sector. This means not only do they offer a very high degree of job security, but, also, the opportunity to work on large and diverse projects for major blue-chip clients.

Environmental management and approvals, including negotiating changes to environmental licence conditions

Management of specialist sub-consultants

Management (or assisting with the management of) EIS projects

This is an opportunity to be mentored by some of the best in the industry and to take on a role which offers the opportunity to increase the successful applicant’s skill-set far more quickly that would be the case at a larger consultancy.
