About V/Line

We connect Victorians through safe, reliable, and accessible transport. Our purpose is to give all Victorians opportunities through travel and transport – connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends, services, tourism and trade.

Our rail network covers vast areas of regional Victoria and into NSW. We operate in a constantly changing space with significant growth and unprecedented rail investment.

With over 3,700 weekly train and coach services, an expansive freight network, and millions of Victorians depending on us, we're committed to delivering more services, trains, cheaper fares, and huge projects.

About the Role

We're seeking an Ecologist Advisor to join our team. As the custodian of environmental support for rail infrastructure projects, you'll manage environmental and heritage risks across all projects and rail construction sites.

You will provide advice to avoid and minimise environmental impacts and effectively manage environmental risks. This includes identifying appropriate environmental controls and managing the preparation of Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs).

  • Provide technical environmental data interpretation and produce professional reports and presentations.
  • Liaise with environment and heritage regulators.
  • Conduct environmental surveys and assessments focusing on the interrelationships between organisms and their environments.

In addition to general responsibilities, this role requires your subject matter expertise in ecology. You will:

  • Monitor and manage the impact of rail infrastructure on local ecosystems.
  • Advise on conservation of flora and fauna, particularly those protected at state, national, and international levels.

Site Visits & Travel

This role involves traveling to sites across regional Victoria. You'll spend about half your time at our Flinders Street office and the other half out on site. On-site tasks include providing support to asset management works, attending site inspections, and ensuring compliance with environmental controls.

Benefits

  • A salary in the range $104,121 - $127,214.
  • A Tool-of-Trade vehicle for work purposes.
  • 4-weeks annual leave and 17.5% leave loading.
  • 11.5% employer-paid super.
  • Free myki for metro & regional travel.

Requirements

  • Tertiary qualification in a discipline such as Environmental Management, Science, Ecology, or Sustainability.
  • Demonstrated experience working in an environmental discipline, with a focus on ecology.
  • Familiarity with State (Vic) & Commonwealth environment & heritage legislation.
  • Familiarity with, or specialisation in, Victorian flora & fauna.
