**Your new company**
Join one of the leading Environmental consultancies within NSW who are working throughout the State to deliver diverse projects including impact assessment, offsetting projects and monitoring programs.

With a growing portfolio of work in the Natural capitals area, this is a great opportunity to join a close-knit team of established environmental professionals.

The consultancy is seeking a Associate-Principal level Ecology Consultant to join their team. You will ideally have a minimum of 15+ years’ experience in the Natural resource management (NRM) industry, with previous consultancy experience.

- A tertiary qualification in the field of Ecology, Environmental Science, Botany, or other relevant discipline
- A minimum of 10+ years’ experience undertaking field-based surveys, data analysis and reporting, preferably in a consulting capacity.
- Proven ability to provide technical ecological advice on large and diverse projects along with providing technical oversight to junior team members.
- Strong working knowledge of relevant NSW and Commonwealth environmental legislation and planning policies.
- An existing BAM accreditation is an advantage, alternatively, the desire and capacity to become BAM accredited based on your existing experience.
- Experience in preparing ecological reports, which may include, impact assessments (BDARs and FFAs), monitoring reports, and Biodiversity Stewardship Site Assessments (BSSARs).
- High PCT (Plant Community Type) assessment skills and experience
- A willingness to travel throughout NSW to perform fieldwork campaigns and mentor our junior team members.
- Vegetation community identification skills within NSW would be an advantage, along with botanical skills

**What you'll get in return**
In return, you will get the opportunity to work on fundamental Natural Capital projects across NSW, whilst being supported by a professional and welcoming team. You will be given a lot of autonomy and exposure to projects from the beginning and other benefits include:

- Entirely flexible work arrangements which can be discussed to suit your needs
- Professional learning & Development allowance + additional annual leave for P&D
- Novated car leasing schemes
