Contaminated Land Consultant

**Contaminated Land Consultant - Relocate to Perth**

**About the business and role**
With offices throughout the Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Africa regions, SLR Consulting is one of a very small number of leading international specialist environmental consultancies. We have a great opportunity in Perth for Graduate / Junior Field staff to work in Western Australia as part of our Land Quality & Remediation team. If you are looking for a position where you can develop, learn new skills and hang out with a great team then SLR will provide relocation costs to get you there
- Our team has a genuine interest in developing practical and sustainable solutions for our clients and reducing the environmental impact of our own operations. For example, SLR has recently committed to being a climate-neutral business by 2030 and adopting the Science-Based Target Initiative’s (SBTi) “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” framework to set emissions reduction targets and drive our climate action plan.
- Reporting to the Team Leader in Perth, you will be working very closely with the multidisciplinary consultants within our Perth office as well as the rest of the Land Quality and Remediation consultants across APAC including contaminated site auditors and technical specialists comprising principal hydrogeologists, risk assessors, chemists, and environmental/remediation engineers to deliver quality contaminated land services to our Western Australian and National clients.
- If you are relocating from outside the area, this doesn’t have to be a permanent move - simply an opportunity to experience all Western Australia has to offer and if it means relocating within SLR in the future this is something we also support. Our team is very busy out west and this is a role where you will learn out on site work first hand all the skills you need to be a great consultant.Key Responsibilities
