Environmental Engineer

Joining Arup

Arup's purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach have set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

As a Contaminated Land Consultant, you'll play a key role in delivering a wide range of projects—from site investigations and remediation strategies to environmental management plans and due diligence assessments. You will work closely with technical advisors and partner organizations to drive sustainable outcomes in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Confident in taking ownership, you'll run reports and manage tasks independently while contributing to impactful, real-world solutions. Once you've mastered this role, there will be opportunities to move into project management or leadership positions, allowing you to take your career to the next level.

The Opportunity

• Lead and conduct field investigations including soil and groundwater sampling, contractor supervision, and health and safety oversight.
• Work on projects based in other Australian states and territories and the wider APAC region, learning about local regulations and working practices.
• Deliver high-quality technical documentation including environmental reports, remediation plans, and assessments.
• Be an advocate of Arup's purpose and help the contaminated land team achieve its strategic priorities and deliver on its value proposition.
• Work in a dynamic multidisciplinary environment alongside colleagues from many Arup disciplines, learning about their technical areas and how contaminated land impacts project design and construction.
• Mentor and support junior team members, offering guidance and feedback to build capability within the team.
• Represent the team in external meetings, helping to shape solutions and build stakeholder relationships.
• Contribute to internal initiatives and projects, promoting continuous improvement and innovation.

At Arup, you will belong to an extraordinary collective—where we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from respecting, sharing, and connecting our diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas.

You will have the opportunity to do socially useful work that has meaning—for Arup, your career, our members, and the communities we serve.

Is this role right for you?

• A degree in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Earth Science, Geology, or a related field, with 4–6 years of industry experience.
• Strong technical knowledge of contaminated land assessment, remediation, and relevant legislation.
• Proven experience coordinating site work on complex and high-risk projects.
