About the Role

The Environmental Heritage Specialist is responsible for managing environmental and heritage risks across all projects and rail construction sites. With a focus on ecology, this role requires:

  1. Providing advice to avoid and minimise environmental impacts and effectively manage environmental risks.
  2. Identifying appropriate environmental controls and managing the preparation of Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs).
  3. Undertaking post-works inspections and verifications on completion of works and clean-up.
  4. Providing practical and technical environmental management advice, including vegetation management and fire prevention.
  5. Preparing and completing environmental investigation reports.
  6. Driving increased environmental awareness among stakeholders.
  7. Liaising with environment and heritage regulators.

Your Ecology Specialisation

This role requires your subject matter expertise in ecology to:

  1. Conduct environmental surveys and assessments focusing on the interrelationships between organisms and their environments.
  2. Provide advice on the conservation of flora and fauna, particularly those protected at state, national, and international levels.
  3. Develop and implement habitat management and restoration projects.
  4. Monitor and manage the impact of rail infrastructure on local ecosystems.

Site Visits & Travel

This role involves traveling to sites across regional Victoria, offering a fantastic opportunity to explore our beautiful State. You'll spend about half your time at our Flinders Street office and the other half out on site, where you will:

  1. Provide onsite support to significant asset management works to maintain compliance with environmental and heritage legislation and internal procedures.
  2. Attend site inspections, pre-start meetings, and staff/contractor inductions to verify there is an appropriate level of understanding of environmental controls (legislation, procedures, CEMPs).
  3. Undertake site inspections during works to ensure compliance with environmental controls.

A valid Vic Driver Licence is essential, and a tool of trade vehicle will be provided. The ability to undertake solo journeys and operate a 4WD vehicle will be an advantage. Accredited 4WD driver training can be provided.
