PSK Environmental is a Brisbane-based environmental consultancy known for delivering science-driven, practical solutions in contaminated land, acid sulfate soils, and water management. With over a decade of operation, we've built a reputation for technical excellence, responsiveness, and integrity, and we're proud to work on some of Queensland's most iconic infrastructure, transport, and urban redevelopment projects.

At PSK, we believe that the preservation of soil and water underpins everything we do. We honour this mission not only through rigorous technical work, but also by sharing our knowledge with industry and the next generation of scientists. We're active contributors to national guidelines, run technical training for councils and engineers, and hold industry fellow roles with local universities.

We're not a large corporate, and that's our strength. Our boutique size means we're agile, close-knit, and everyone has a voice. You won't be buried in red tape or repetitive workstreams. Instead, you'll enjoy variety, autonomy, and the support of a leadership team who genuinely care about your growth and wellbeing.
