**What if you could shape built and natural environments, and the future of those that use them?**

**With us, you can.**

As a **Hazardous Materials and Occupational Hygiene Consultant**, your primary focus is to protect workers' health, and provide guidance to clients in order for them to meet their health, safety, and legislative requirements regarding the workplace, and occupational exposure.

You will assist your clients in anticipating, recognising, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with hazardous materials and physical hazards in the workplace. Your expertise will directly contribute to enhancing environmental health and safety (EHS) standards within workplaces, safeguarding our clients' reputation, and aligning with their sustainability objectives.

We've recently delivered asbestos, HAZMAT, occupational hygiene consultancy services for clients such as:

- Department of Education
- City of Gold Coast
- Queensland Health
- QBuild
- Australia Post
- Westpac
- Mater Health Services
- Urban Utilities
- SafeWork Australia
- CSIRO
- Rio Tinto

The preferred location for this role is our **Gold Coast office**, with opportunity for travel throughout south-east QLD for project specific works. We offer opportunities for overtime and excellent working conditions.

We also work hybrid which means you will have the opportunity to work from home for up to two days per week when not required on site, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.

**What you’ll do**
- Work within an energetic team environment to maintain a high standard of customer service, technical quality, thriving team culture, and high performance
- Develop asbestos monitoring and decontamination strategies, issuing clearances
- Conduct sampling for various airborne contaminants such as respirable crystalline silica, dust, and chemicals, as well as physical hazards such as noise and vibration, in order to provide technical recommendations to protect worker health
- Undertake site surveys including sampling of suspected hazardous building materials and pre-demolition surveys
- Provide technical guidance on sites during asbestos removal projects; and
- Conduct indoor air quality, mould and moisture assessments, as well as providing recommendations on the remediation of mould or moisture impacted buildings
- Manage a diverse range of small-medium scale projects
- Assist the team with strategy and business development
- Analyse data and prepare technical reports and proposals with support from senior staff, including technical specialists and Certified Occupational Hygienists (we have 5 of them at WSP)

**About you**

You are enthusiastic, a team player, and looking to make a positive impact in the field of occupational hygiene and hazardous materials consulting by contributing to the safety and well-being of others.

You will ideally bring the following:

- Asbestos/HazMat consultancy experience or previous experience in a relevant industry such as environmental management, construction, civil or mining
- Experience in measuring and assessing occupational exposure to hazards in the workplace (e.g. environmental factors and stresses, chemical/physical/ergonomic/biological hazards)
- Understanding or willingness to develop understanding of consulting and project life cycle, taking initiative to develop relationships with clients, whilst maintaining high standards of service delivery
- Appetite to enhance your skills in report writing, building relationships, and project management
- Australian Driver's License, enabling you to effectively fulfil the requirements of the position
- Trade experience or tertiary qualifications in either Building and Construction, Environmental Science, Health and Safety, Occupational Hygiene or equivalent
- Asbestos Assessors License would be highly regarded, as it demonstrates your specialised expertise and commitment to maintaining high standards within the industry
