Environmental Assessment Officer

Professional 2 - Remuneration Package Range $106,158 - $126,245
Environmental Assessment
Darwin
Ongoing vacancy available
Bring your experience in environmental impact assessment and best practice environmental management and help protect the Territory's environment.
The Department of Lands, Planning and Environment (DLPE) was established with a clear vision that the Northern Territory's natural assets are managed sustainably for the benefit of all. Its purpose is to provide evidence-based advice and regulation to support sustainable use of the Northern Territory's natural resources, and to protect and preserve its wildlife.
The Environmental Assessment Unit (EAU) in DLPE conducts environmental impact assessment functions of the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority (NT EPA) under the Environment Protection Act 2019 (EP Act). The NT EPA is an independent authority with the key objectives to promote ecologically sustainable development and protect the environment.
As an Environmental Assessment Officer, you play a key role in effectively implementing environmental impact assessments of development proposals in accordance with the EP Act and Environment Protection Regulations 2020.
Your key duties involve assisting in the identification, critical analysis and risk assessments of environmental impacts associated with development proposals; and recommending environmental assessment and protection measures and safeguards, consistent with best practice environmental management. You will be involved in providing high quality, efficient and timely environmental and scientific advice to the NT EPA and other stakeholders on development matters that come under the responsibility of the EAU.
You must have tertiary qualifications in environmental science or a related field and experience in environmental impact assessment or a related field. It is key that you have good communication skills and demonstrated ability to research, analyse and interpret complex, technical information and draw conclusions from evidence. Knowledge of NT and national environmental policies will be well regarded, especially related to environment protection or environmental impact assessment.
You will be rewarded with a competitive salary package including 11.5% superannuation, 6 weeks recreational and 3 weeks personal leave annually, 17.5% leave loading, negotiable flexible work arrangements, potential for assistance with relocation costs, and an opportunity to experience the uniqueness of living in the Northern Territory.
This is a great time to consider a move to the Territory. Enjoy an enviable laidback lifestyle with short commutes, tropical sunsets, spectacular lightning displays and unique landscapes with cool waterholes. Darwin's rich cultural society and community spirit makes it an easy place to meet people and make new friends.
