You should have a relevant tertiary qualification in environmental science, environmental engineering, planning, or similar, and experience in impact assessment or regulatory approvals for energy projects.

You should also have knowledge and experience of State and Commonwealth legislation and regulations, a proven history in identifying, winning, and delivering projects, and experience in a consulting environment with business development and client relationship skills.
