Join Our Contaminated Land Team – Queensland

What You’ll Be Doing

- Leading contaminated land investigations (PSIs, DSIs, RAPs, validation)

- Managing field programs, contractors, and junior staff

- Overseeing data interpretation, reporting and recommendations

- Liaising with clients, auditors, regulators and internal teams

- Supporting regulatory approvals and stakeholder engagement

- Developing proposals and contributing to business development

- Mentoring junior consultants and building technical capability

What You’ll Need

- Degree in Environmental Science, Engineering, Geology or related field

- 15+ years of experience in contaminated land consulting in Australia

- Strong working knowledge of QLD and national legislation (EP Act, NEPM)

- Excellent writing, reporting and client communication skills

- A proactive, solutions-focused approach to complex sites

- Desire to lead, mentor, and grow your technical influence

What’s in It for You

- Based in Brisbane or flexible across QLD regional hubs

- Competitive salary + performance-based incentives

- National projects and cross-state collaboration

- Work-from-home options and flexible schedules

- A genuinely supportive, ego-free team culture

- Pathway to technical leadership or site auditor support roles
