In this role, you will work closely with a team of highly experienced professionals and early-career consultants to deliver a range of environmental consulting projects. You will:

This role offers genuine flexibility, including hybrid working arrangements to promote work-life balance, and can be full-time or part-time to suit your needs. Our offices are located in Sydney and Newcastle, and the role may require occasional work at our client's office.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and values-driven individual with experience delivering planning and environmental approvals in NSW. You will have:

  • A degree or postgraduate qualification in environmental science, environmental planning, or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years' experience in environmental planning, impact assessment, and approvals.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and experience in the application of New South Wales and Commonwealth environmental planning legislation.
  • Exceptional organisational skills with strong motivation and ability to work independently.

Jacobs offers a supportive and inclusive work environment that values diversity, flexibility, and professional development. We're committed to driving a culture of caring where you can be yourself and reach your full potential.

At Jacobs, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. We're proud to be a winner of the Consult Australia People First Award and a certified Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (Australia).
