SLR Consulting is a rapidly growing privately-owned global business, with a strong reputation for providing high-quality Environmental and Advisory Services. We have over 3,000 staff with offices throughout the APAC, Europe, North, Central and South America and Africa regions. In APAC, we have over 800 employees (and counting) across 23 offices.

There is a fantastic opportunity for a highly experienced Planner with 15+ years of experience to join our APAC Planning team in Sydney or Newcastle. Our team is made up of a group of skilled and motivated Planners with an enthusiastic approach to life and work.

This role will require a planning expert, with a penchant for Business development as well as technical excellence. We are looking for a market-facing leader to help foster new relationships, nurture existing ones, and develop staff to ensure our potential is reached. As a Technical Director, and therefore part of the planning leadership team, we are looking for someone to help influence the direction of our growing team. We work in a flexible office environment and pride ourselves on our relaxed and positive culture, regular social events, and positive client feedback.
