  • Ability to work in a professional team as well as autonomously.
  • Capability to effectively communicate with team members.
  • Experience in GIS and electronic data capture.
  • Appreciation of the importance of WHS matters.

About Umwelt:

We are a team of vibrant professionals with experience across a range of sectors, including renewables, infrastructure, Defence, regulation and policy, resources, and the urban development sector. We provide fully integrated environmental and social assessment and management services.

At Umwelt, workplace culture is paramount. Our people are our most important asset, and we are committed to providing a workplace that supports our team to grow with a collaborative and supportive environment and engaging project opportunities.

What we offer:

  • A genuine career role for an enthusiastic Ecologist.
  • Flexible work arrangements to support a work/life balance.

  • Opportunities to work nationally across a range of sectors on diverse and technically challenging projects.
  • Opportunities to join the company's Employee Share Plan (ESP).
  • Paid parental leave for both primary and secondary carers.
  • A workplace culture of learning and personal development, with a mix of in-house and externally hosted training opportunities offered as well as mentorship.
  • A competitive salary based on skills and experience as well as generous per diem and significant field hours considerations.
