  • Reviewing or preparing site-specific risk-based criteria

  • Advising clients, auditors and regulators on site management strategies

  • Supporting business development and proposal writing

  • Mentoring and training emerging risk assessors within the team

What You'll Need

  • Degree in Environmental Science, Toxicology, Environmental Engineering, Chemistry or similar

  • Minimum 8+ years in risk assessment roles (consulting or regulator)

  • Strong technical knowledge of NEPM, CRC CARE, enHealth and relevant state-based frameworks

  • Experience working on complex industrial or contaminated land sites

  • Confidence working with multidisciplinary teams and clients

  • A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in mentoring others

What's in It for You

  • Work from anywhere — Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide or remotely

  • Competitive salary + tailored perks

  • Exposure to some of Australia's most complex and high-profile risk projects

  • Supportive team of experts who back each other to succeed

  • Leadership pathway with national visibility

  • Real autonomy, flexibility and influence
