What will your legacy be? Are you excited to be part of the renewable energy transition, or keen to influence city shaping projects or passionate about delivering environmental solutions on some of Australia’s most significant projects? If so, we would love to hear from you

With our incredibly strong project pipeline of truly transformational energy and transport projects we are seeking a Principal Environmental Scientist/ Planner or an Associate Director Environmental Scientist / Planner to join our Sydney Environmental Impact Assessment team.

+ Demonstrated strong communication, influencing and leadership skills

+ A drive to mentor junior and mid-level consulting staff to develop their skill sets in the environmental planning and approvals technical area.

+ Ability to identify individuals with high potential and work with them so that they can quickly progress in their careers at AECOM

+ Proven ability to network and influence at peer levels

+ Industry recognition as a leader in specialist discipline with well-established industry networks

+ Proven ability to develop new client relationships and expand existing relationships through timely delivery of projects, value for money and quality service

+ A high level of technical competence in environmental planning and approvals, due diligence and land use planning

+ Extensive experience leading and managing environmental assessment and environmental impact statement projects

+ Superior project management and project delivery skills, including time management and organisational skills

+ Extensive consulting experience, with demonstrated technical, commercial and delivery acumen

Preferred Qualifications

+ A bachelor’s degree (with post graduate qualifications preferred) in an appropriate discipline such as environmental science, environmental planning, town planning and/or environmental engineering

+ REAP Certification, or who is eligible for REAP certification and currently seeking REAP certification
