  • Undertake site inspections during works to ensure compliance with environmental controls.

A valid Victoria Driver Licence is essential, and a tool of trade vehicle will be provided.

  • 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.
  • Rail or transport sector experience would be ideal; equally, your skills may have developed in construction, utilities, linear reserve management, land care, parks & wildlife, or environmental policymaking within government.
